Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\frac7{40}\ more\ of\ the\ room}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to find the common denominator.
To do this, simply multiply the first fraction by 5/5, and the second by 8/8 to get:
[tex]\frac15=\frac{1}{5}*\frac{8}{8} = \frac{1*8}{5*8} = \frac{8}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\frac38=\frac38*\frac55=\frac{3*5}{8*5}=\frac{15}{40}[/tex]
Thus, Lisa painted 7/40 more of the room than Madison.
Hope it helps :)
