Hank and Debra each own two milking cows. One day, they milked their cows and compared the amount of milk the cows produced in that one day.

The answer to your question is  2 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Hank's cows = 4 3/4   and  4  1/8

Debra's cows = 5 1/2  and  5 2/3

Process

1.- Convert the mixed functions to improper fractions

Hank's           (16 + 3)/4  = 19/4           (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8

Debra's          (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2              (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3

2.- Sum up Hank's milk and Debra's milk

Hank's       19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8

Debra's      11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6

3.- Subtract Hank's milk to Debra's milk

                 67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24

                                    = 55/24

-Convert into a mixed fraction

                                2

                      24   55

                                7

                                      55/24 = 2 7/24

4.- Conclusion

Debra milked 2 7/24 more milk than Hank
