Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark simplified 3/5 + 5/8 using the steps below:

Step 1: 3/5 * 8/5

Step 2: 3 * 8 / 5 * 5

Step 3: 24/5

Step 4: 4 4/5

Mark's error is in Step 1 where he changed the addition sign to multiplication sign.

The correct solution is:

Step 1: \dfrac{3}{5}+ \dfrac{5}{8}\\Step 2:  \dfrac{24+25}{40}\\Step 3:  \dfrac{49}{40}\\Step 4: 1\dfrac{9}{40}

Best has knitted 5/8 of the scarf she is making has she needed more than one half of the scarf can't find the equivalent fractio
BabaBlast [244]
To compare 5/8 and 1/2, you will need to create fractions that have the same denominator. 1/2 is the same as 4/8.

5/8 is greater than 4/8, so she had knitted more than 1/2.
