Question

Alexa and Rose read books that have the same number of Pages. Alexa's book is divided into 8 equal chapters. Rose's book is divided into 6 equal Pages. Each girl has read 3 Chapters of her book. Write a fraction to describe what part of the book each girl read. Then tell who read more pages. Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rose has read more pages

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Alexa has read $\frac{3}{8}$ of the book

Rose has read $\frac{3}{6}$ of the book

Simplify the expression and then compare

Multiply $\frac{3}{8}$ by $\frac{3}{3}$

$\frac{3}{8}*\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{24}$

Multiply $\frac{3}{6}$ by $\frac{4}{4}$

$\frac{3}{6}*\frac{4}{4}=\frac{12}{24}$

Compare the fractions

$\frac{12}{24} > \frac{9}{24}$

therefore

Rose has read more pages

Answer 2

Rose has read more because 3/6 of a book is more then 3/8 of a book in Alexa's book the chapters will be shorter than the chapters in Rose's book. 


Hope this helps
