Answer 2

Answer:

Soup A has more sodium per cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Soup A has $\frac{5}{6}$ and Soup B has $\frac{8}{10}$

This can be solved by looking at the fractions, you can see that for Soup A the difference between the denominator and numerator is 1 (6-5=1).  Similarly, Soup B has a difference between the denominator and numerator of 2 (10-8=2).  Therefore, Soup A has more sodium per cup.

If you need to be absolutely sure you can also do long division of 5÷6 which is $\frac{5}{6} \approx 0.83$ and Soup B $\frac{8}{10}=0.8$.  By looking at these decimals 0.83 is greater than 0.8 and so Soup A has more sodium per cup.
