Tim's First Growing Post




I got my answers by using the clock method.


1/2 + 1/6


1/2 of 60 minutes is 30. 1/6 of 60 is 10.


1/2 + 1/6 = 40 minutes or 40/60 or 4/6.


1/4 + 7/12

1/4 of 60 is 15. 7/12 of 60 is 35.

1/4 + 7/12 = 50 minutes or 50/60 or 5/6.


1/4 + 7/12 is larger than 1/2 + 1/6.
