Question

Ordan has _ 5 8 can of green paint and _ 3 6 can of blue paint. If the cans are the same size, does Jordan have more green paint or blue paint? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jordan has more green paints

Explanation:

Given

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Green = 0.625$

For the blue paint:

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

$Blue = 0.5$

By comparison:

$0.625 > 0.5$

This means that Jordan has more green paints
