need help in math fractions? which girl spent more on her allowance the one tht had 3/5 or the one tht had 4/7

Question

Kim and Laura receive the same amount of allowance each week. Laura spends 3/5 of it going to the movies and Kim spends 4/7 of hers on a cd. Which girl spent more on her allowance?

Answer 1

3/5 =.6
4/7 =.571

3/5 is bigger

Answer 2

You can't compare apples and oranges just as you can't compare fractions with different denominators. You must have the same denominator.
The lowest common denominator in this case is 35. Change the two fractions so both have a denominator of 35. Remember: what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.
3/5=21/35
4/7=20/35
You should see that 21/35 is greater than 20/35, so 3/5 is greater than 4/7.
Therefore, Laura spent more of her allowance.

Answer 3

One way to solve this.

3/5 = 21/35
4/7 = 20/35

Laura spend 1/35 more than Kim.

Answer 4

multiply the first one by (7/7) and the second one by (5/5)

Laura spent 21/45 while Kim spent 20/45

Laura spent more

Answer 6

Bro Thr are two types of love 1 which is enforced and other which is natural If u r really attracted to her then u need to express that to her. Be honest. Tell her what u have been thinking of her and how u will be treating her in future. The more u communicate (two sided communication remember that ) the more you will understand whether to continue with relation or to just Be Friends. Lastly don't be in love with the idea of love. Don't be exited with the fact that u are in love, rather evaluate if the thought of the girl also provided the same emotions as the idea of love. My Advise Its harder to find a true friend in comparison to a girl friend
