At a pie-eating contest, Ann got through 1/2 of a pie before time was called; Kathleen finished just 1/12 of a pie. How much more pie did Ann eat than Kathleen?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Ann ate 1/2 of a pie and Kathleen ate 1/12 of a pie. To find out how much more pie Ann ate than Kathleen, you subtract the fraction that Kathleen ate from the fraction that Ann ate.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1/2 (Ann's portion) - 1/12 (Kathleen's portion) = ?

First, you need to have the same denominator to subtract fractions. The least common multiple of 2 and 12 is 12. So, convert 1/2 to 6/12.

6/12 (Ann's portion) - 1/12 (Kathleen's portion) = ?

Now, subtract the numerators (the top numbers of the fractions):

6 - 1 = 5

So, Ann ate 5/12 more of a pie than Kathleen.

To find out how much more pie Ann ate than Kathleen, you need to subtract the fraction of the pie that Kathleen ate from the fraction that Ann ate.

Ann ate 1/2 of a pie and Kathleen ate 1/12 of a pie.

So, you subtract 1/12 from 1/2.

First, you need to make sure the fractions have the same denominator. The least common denominator between 2 and 12 is 12.

So, convert 1/2 to 6/12.

Now, subtract 1/12 from 6/12.

6/12 - 1/12 = 5/12

So, Ann ate 5/12 more of a pie than Kathleen.
