There is \(\frac{5}{6}\) of a scoop of ice cream. Another scoop of ice cream has \(\frac{2}{3}\) scoops. How much more does the first scoop of ice cream have compared to the second?

Answer :

Final answer:

To find out how much more ice cream scoop one has compared to scoop two, we need to subtract the amount of ice cream in scoop two from the amount in scoop one. Scoop one has 5/6 of a scoop of ice cream and scoop two has 2/3 of a scoop of ice cream. Therefore, ice cream scoop one has 1/6 more than scoop two.

Explanation:

To find out how much more ice cream scoop one has compared to scoop two, we need to subtract the amount of ice cream in scoop two from the amount in scoop one.

Scoop one has 5/6 of a scoop of ice cream.

Scoop two has 2/3 of a scoop of ice cream.

To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator.

The common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6.

We can convert 5/6 into a fraction with a denominator of 6 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 1:

5/6 = (5/6) x (1/1) = 5/6

We can convert 2/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 6 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2:

2/3 = (2/3) x (2/2) = 4/6

Now we can subtract the fractions:

5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6

Therefore, ice cream scoop one has 1/6 more than scoop two.
