Answer 1

so add 2/3 and 5/6 to find poodle
add 1/3 and 1/2 to find beagle

convert bottom number to same
2/3 times 2/2=4/6
4/6+5/6=9/6


1/3+1/2
convert both to 6
1/3 times 2/2=2/6
1/2 times 3/3=3/6
add
2/6+3/6=5/6

poodle=9/6
beagle=5/6
subtract
9/6-5/6=4/6=2/3

the poddie walked 2/3 more than bagle
