Karen is typing a report.she typed 3/8of the pages in the report in the morning and 2/5 of the pages in the afternoon.what fraction more of the pages did she type in the morning?

Verified Answer :

Simple...

you haveĀ \(\frac{3}{8}\) andĀ \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Just subtract...but first find a common denominator...

Use 40 as the common denominator...

\(\frac{3}{8} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15}{40}\)
and
\(\frac{2}{5} * \frac{8}{8} = \frac{16}{40}\)

So, subtract,

\(\frac{15}{40} - \frac{16}{40}\)

=\(- \frac{1}{40}\)

Thus, your answer.
