Question

Razzle Shoes bought a 1/2 page ad in the Times. Dazzle Shoes bought two ads that were 1/6 page each. How much more advertising did Razzle shoes buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6 more ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2

2/6 is only 1/6 away from 3/6, which is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$ pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of adds bought by Razzle Shoes = 1,

Size of each ad = $\frac{1}{2}$ page

So, the advertising bought by it = $1\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Also, the number of adds bought by Dazzle Shoes = 2,

Size of each page of ad = $\frac{1}{6}$ page

So, the advertising bought by it = $2\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

Since,

$\frac{1}{2} > \frac{1}{3}$

Thus, Razzle shoes bought more,

Also, advertising bought by Razzle shoes - advertising bought by Dazzle Shoes

$=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{3-2}{6}$

$=\frac{1}{6}$
