Question

Darcy bought 1 2 pound of cheese and 5 6 pound of hamburger for a barbecue. Use the numbers to compare the amounts of cheese and hamburger Darcy bought. 1 2 5 6 <

Answer 1

Answer:

• Darcy bought more Hamburgers than Cheese
• 1/2 pound of cheese < 5/6 pounds of Hamburgers

Step-by-step explanation:

Darcy bought 1/2 pounds of cheese and 5/6 pounds of hamburgers.

Convert these to decimals to be sure which is larger:

= 1/2                                                               = 5/6

= 0.5 pounds                                                 = 0.83 pounds

The hamburgers are therefore more so the comparison would look like:

1/2 pound of cheese < 5/6 pounds of hamburgers
