Question

Patti has two glue sticks that are partially used. One has 1/5 left, and one has 3/10 left. Which glue stick has more glue?

Answer 1

Answer:

the one with 3/10 left has more

Step-by-step explanation:

because 1/5 is equal to 2/10 and 3/10>2/10

Answer 2

Answer:

The one with the 3/10 of glue left

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you would want to change the 1/5's denominator to the same denominator as the 3/10's, because we want to compare the two.

- First, you would need to find the common denominator.

The common denominator for 5 and 10 is ten, so we don't need to times anything to 10, but we need to times 1/5 by 2.

1/5* 2/2= 2/10

Now that it is done, we compare the two.

Which one is larger, 2/10 or 3/10?

3/10 is greater, so we put down the 3/10 of glue left.

Hope this helped!
