Question

13. Higher Order Thinking Eve and Gerard

Answer 1

Answer:

Gerard's blue section is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eve  divided her half into 6 equal sections and painted one section blue.

So, the blue-painted part will be of size $(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6}) = \frac{1}{12}$ part of the whole poster.

Again, Gerard  divided her half into 5 equal sections and painted one section blue.

So, the blue-painted part will be of size $(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5}) = \frac{1}{10}$ part of the whole poster.

Now, since 12 > 10, so, $\frac{1}{12} < \frac{1}{10}$

Therefore, Gerard's blue section is larger. (Answer)
