Answer:

Option: c is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that paco needs at least 3/8 yard of twine to build a model ship.

that is we require twine of amount greater than 3/8 yards.

<em>now we need to check among the given options which quantity is greater than 3/8 yards.</em>

a)

3/10 yard.

As we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.

Hence 3/10 < 3/8

Hence option a is incorrect.

b)

1/4 yard

As to compare to rational numbers we have to either make the numerator equal or their denominator equal. Hence here we multiply and divide 1/4 by 2 to get 8 in the denominator.

\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{2}{8}

as 2/8 < 3/8

since the denominator is same and the number with the same denominator but with different numerator are compared as whose numerator is greater is a greater quantity.

Hence option b is incorrect.

c)

3/4 yard

Clearly both the numbers have the same numerator but different denominator and we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.

Hence 3/8 < 3/4

Hence, option c is correct.

d)

1/8 yard

clearly both the numbers have the same denominator and we know that for two rational numbers withe same denominator but with different numerator the number whose numerator is smaller is a smaller quantity.

Hence, 1/8 < 3/8

Hence, option d is incorrect.

3/4 Because it is the only one that if bought, would be sufficient to supply the 3/8. It is the only one that if subtracted by 3/8, would not be negative.
