To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.
For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?
1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.
It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.
Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.</span><span>

Complete question :
Carly purchased 9 1/2 pints of ice cream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 3/5 pint of ice cream, what is the greatest number of gusts that Carly can serve
Answer:
15 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total pints of icecream = 9 1/2
Fraction of ice cream pints per guest = 3/5 pints
Number of guest that can be served :
Total pints / fraction per guest
9 1/2 ÷ 3/5
19/2 * 5/3
95 / 6
= 15.8 guest
Hence, greatest Number of guest that can be served = 15
The first thing that fraction can can represent is Pizza, pie,and onions. Because you can cut the pizza, the pie, and the onion into different or equal spaces. Hoped it helped.
