    John mows 3 lawns in 4 hours, Paul mows 5 lawns in 6 hours. Who mows faster?

    To see who mows faster, we set up fractions with a common denominator.

    You can see this by running this statement in the calculator:
    3/4 or 5/6

    You'll see that 5/6 is larger, so Paul mores more lawns per hour.
