Answer:

Riley is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Luca eats 3/6 of his submarine sandwich. Riley eats 5/6 of his submarine sandwich. Riley said he ate 2/6 more than Luca.

To find out the fraction of how much more Riley ate than Luca, we carry out Subtraction operation

= Fraction of what Riley ate - Fraction of what Luca ate

= 5/6 - 3/6

Lowe's Common Denominator = 6

= 5 - 3/6

= 2/6

Therefore, Riley is correct
