Question

Lola has eaten 2/6 of her orange. phillip has eaten 3/8 of his orange. who has eaten the greater amount?

Answer 1

2/6 is the same as 8/24 and 3/8 is the same as 9/24. So, if we compare 8/24 and 9/24, 9/24 or 3/8 is greater than 8/24 or 2/6.

The answer is 3/8 is greater than 2/6, so Phillip has eaten the greater amount.
