Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

ist you have to lind the lcd of each fraction. that would be 10.

1/2x5/5=5/10 of the boys have brown eyes

1/5x2/2=2/10 of the boys have blue eyes

3/10=3/10 of the boys have hazel eyes

The question is asking to see how many more boys have brown eyes than hazel eyes.

Subtract 3/10 from 5/10

and that gives you 2/10

The answer is 1/5.

We know that half of the boys in Jason's class has brown eyes, while three-tenths of the boys in his class have hazel eyes. Therefore, if we subtract the two values, you should get your answer.

[tex]\frac{1}{2} -\frac{3}{10} =\frac{2}{10}[/tex]

1/5 is the simplified version of 2/10. Therefore, 1/5 is your answer.
