Answer: Rob ate more crackers.

Symbol answer: 6/12 < 9/12

Step-by-Step explanation:

Common knowledge: Anytime you have the same numerator, with a different denominator, the one with the bigger denominator is always smaller. For example, if had a pizza with 6 slices and a pizza with 4 slices, the one with 6 slices and smaller and the one with 4 slices and bigger. Even though 6>4 that mindset has to change when thinking about a problem like this.

Another explanation: 

If you still don’t get it, simply find a common denominator, so we’ll choose 12. Take 3/6 and multiply that by 2/2 so you get 6/12 and then take 3/4 and multiply that by 3/3 on both the (numerator and denominator) and that equals 9/12.

So now you have the expression: 6/12<9/12.

Laura drove 638 miles in 11 hours at the same rate how long would it take her to drive 406 miles

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a d = rt problem; but since it is linear, then proportions will work too. Set up the proportion with miles on top and hours on the bottom:

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:$

Then put the numbers in where they go, keeping in mind that miles goes with miles and hours goes with hours in the ratios, and that our unknown is time (hours):

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:\frac{638}{11}=\frac{406}{x}$ and cross multiply to solve:
