Question

how much more of his allowance did Nathan spend on the snack than on the movie ticket. Nathan spent 1/5 of his allowance on a movie and 1/4 of his on a snack

Answer 1

We know that

• Nathan spent 1/5 on a movie.

,

• He spent 1/4 on a snack.

First, we add the money spent

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(5)=(5+4)/(20)=(9)/(20)`

Nathan spent 9/20 of his allowance.

Then, we subtract

`(1)/(4)-(1)/(5)=(5-4)/(20)=(1)/(20)`

Hence, Nathan spent 1/20 more on snacks.
