It takes Nadia 4/9hours to complete her language arts homework. It takes 2/9, mathematics homework, which takes longer and how much longer.
surely you can see that 4/9 is greater than 2/9
To determine which homework takes longer, we can compare the amount of time it takes to complete each subject's homework.
Firstly, we need to find a common denominator for 4/9 and 2/9. Since both fractions have the same denominator, which is 9, we can compare them directly.
Comparing the numerator values:
- For language arts, Nadia takes 4/9 hours.
- For mathematics, Nadia takes 2/9 hours.
Since 4/9 is larger than 2/9, it means that language arts homework takes longer.
To find out how much longer language arts homework takes compared to mathematics, we can subtract the time for mathematics from the time for language arts:
4/9 - 2/9 = (4 - 2)/9 = 2/9
Therefore, language arts homework takes 2/9 hours longer than mathematics homework.
To determine which homework takes longer, we need to compare the time it takes for Nadia to complete her language arts homework and her mathematics homework.
Language arts homework: 4/9 hours
Mathematics homework: 2/9 hours
To find out which takes longer, we can compare the two fractions by using a common denominator.
The common denominator for 9 and 9 is 9.
Language arts homework: (4/9) hours x (1/1) = 4/9 hours
Mathematics homework: (2/9) hours x (1/1) = 2/9 hours
Since 4/9 hours is greater than 2/9 hours, the language arts homework takes longer.
To determine how much longer, we can subtract the time it takes for the mathematics homework from the time it takes for the language arts homework.
Language arts homework - Mathematics homework = 4/9 hours - 2/9 hours
To subtract fractions with the same denominator, we subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
4/9 - 2/9 = (4 - 2)/9 = 2/9
Therefore, Nadia's language arts homework takes 2/9 hours longer than her mathematics homework.
