The students were helping decorate a bulletin board for the missionary conference. Christi use 5/16 of a roll of blue paper and sandy used 1/8 of the roll. How much more paper did Christi use than sandy?

Christi used 3/16 more of the roll than Sandy did.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you'll need to make the denominators the same. I htink it's called GCF or Greatest common factor.

16:16,32...

8:8,16...

That was quick, anyways now perform these equations:

1/8=8 x 2 = 16, 1 x 2 = 2

1/8 is now 2/16. Now you can easily compare the equations.

Since 5/16 already has 16 as it's denominator you make no changes to it.

5/16 - 2/16 = 3/16

now you can simplify your 3/16 = 3/16 it's already at it's simplest form.

Your answer would be 3/16.
