Question

A bedroom garbage can weighed 3/4 of a pound. A bathroom garbage can weighed 1/4 of a pound. Which is more

Answer 1

3/4 of a pound. Why? 1/4 & 3/4 have the same denominator so you just compare the numerators. 3 is obviously bigger then 1 so there is your answer. If you were thinking about let's say cakes it would be the other way around. Would you rather share it with 3 people and get small pieces or share it with 1, which can basically be yourself.
