Answer:
Aimee's garbage disposal has 11/40 more power than Vincent's garbage disposal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Aimee's garbage disposal horse power = 7/8
Vincent's garbage disposal horse power = 3/5
All we need is to subtract Vincent's power from Aimee's power.
i.e.
[tex]\frac{7}{8}-\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]\frac{7}{8}-\frac{3}{5}\:=\frac{35}{40}-\frac{24}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{c}-\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a-b}{c}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{35-24}{40}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11}{40}[/tex]
Thus, Aimee's garbage disposal has 11/40 more power than Vincent's garbage disposal.
