The length of the painting is 8/15 m, and the width is 11/18 m. Which is greater: the length or width of the painting and by how many meters?

For the convenience of the solution, we translate the length of the paintings from centimeters to meters.

Since 1 meter is 100 centimeters, we get:

100 * 8/15 = 800/15 = 53 1/3 cm (Painting length).

100 * 11/18 = 1100/18 = 61 1/9 cm (Width of the picture).

From the solution, we see that the width of the picture is greater, since 61 1/9 cm is greater than 53 1/3 cm.

Find the difference in width and length.

We subtract the length from the width.

We get:

61 1/9 – 53 1/3 = 550/9 – 159/3 = (Common denominator of 9) = 550/9 – 477/9 = 73/9 = 8 1/9 cm.

8 1/9 cm * 100 = 0.081 m.

Answer: The width is 0.081 m greater than the length.
