Question

Joe has eaten 2/5 of a pizza. Jane has eaten 1/7 of a pizza. How many times more pizza has Joe eaten than Jane?

Answer 1

`14/5` times as much

Explanation:

First, get the denominators to be the same. The LCM is `5 times 7=35` So `1/7 times 5/5=5/35` And `2/5 times 7/7=14/35`
Now you have `5/35` and `14/35`
Then you just divide Joe's by Jane's to get the answer.
`14/35 divide 5/35=14/35 times 35/5=14/5`
