Mang lino's

Mang Lino's rice harvest yielded 15 1/4 sacks of rice, while Mang Pepe's harvest yielded 19 3/4 sacks of rice. Thus, Mang Pepe harvested 19 3/4 sacks more rice than Mang Lino.

Correct answer:

x =  4 ¹⁄₂ = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} L=15\frac{1}{4}=15+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{15\cdot 4+1}{4}=\frac{60+1}{4}=\frac{61}{4}=15\frac{1}{4}=15.25 \\ P=19\frac{3}{4}=19+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19\cdot 4+3}{4}=\frac{76+3}{4}=\frac{79}{4}=19\frac{3}{4}=19.75 \\ x=P-L=\frac{79}{4}-\frac{61}{4}=\frac{79-61}{4}=\frac{18}{4}=\frac{9}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}=4.5 \end{gathered}$$
