Question

Jordan had 3/8pound of candy. He gave some to his brother and now he only has 1/10 pound left. How much did he give to his brother?

Answer 1

First, let's try to find common denominators. 3/8 = 15/40 and 1/10 = 4/40. Now, subtract the initial minus the final to find out much he gave to his brother. 15/40 - 4/40 = 9/40. We cannot simplify this anymore using whole numbers so the answer is 9/40.
