Answer:
He needs more bananas. ([tex]\frac{10}{12}+\frac{9}{12}[/tex])
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common multiple for both denominators.
For 6 and 4 in the denominators, their L.C.M is 12.
Cup of mashed bananas:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.
[tex]\frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12}[/tex]
Cup of mashed strawberries:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3.
[tex]\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}[/tex]
Since the denominators are now the same, we can compare them in the same ratio.
[tex]\frac{10}{12} > \frac{9}{12}[/tex]
Therefore he needs [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] more mashed bananas than mashed strawberries.
