Question

Glenda wrote 2/10 of her paper on Monday, 1/10 of her people on Tuesday and 1/10 of her paper on Wednesday . She says she will more than half of her paper . Is she correct ? Why or why not ?

Answer 1

If you are asking if she wrote half her paper:

Add the portions she has written.

= 2/10 + 1/10 + 1/10
= 4/10
simplify by 2
= 2/5 (or 0.4) has been written

2/5 < 1/2
0.4 < 0.5


ANSWER: She is not correct. She has not written 1/2 of her paper because 2/5 (or 0.4) is less than 1/2 (or 0.5).

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Glenda is incorrect. shes wrong because she wrote 4/10 thats close to 1/2 but its not one half
