Joanie wrote a letter that was 1 1/4 pages long. Katie wrote a letter that was 3/4 page shorter than Joanie’s letter. How long was Katie’s letter? Write your answer as a sum of unit fractions. Express the length of Katie's letter as a product of a whole number and unit fraction.
1 1/4 = 5/4
5/4 - 3/4 = 2/4
Katies letter was 2/4 pages long or half a page long
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
1/4 x 2 = 2/4
