Jimmy is trying to dive down and touch the bottom of the pool. on his first try, he makes it 1/3 of the way to the bottom.

on his second try, he makes it 3/5 of the way to the bottom.


jimmy's second dive was deeper than his first dive by what fraction of the pool?

4 feet or 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So first you have to multiply the top and bottom number of each fraction by the denominator of the opposite fraction to have the same denominator:

1/3 X 5/5 = 5/15

3/5 X 3/3 = 9/15

2. Then you compare the two fractions and subtract the smaller fraction from the bigger:

9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15

So Jimmy dived 4 feet deeper the second time
