Question

Fraction and area! Please help!

Answer 1

Solution (A):

In this case, Ashley painted the larger fraction.

• => 1/2 and 1/4
• => 2/4 and 1/4
• => 2/4 > 1/4

Solution (B):

Although Ashley painted a larger fraction, Alex painted the larger ceiling area because the area of the library ceiling is larger than the area of the bathroom ceiling.

Solution (C):

The results should be different because the area of the bathroom ceiling looked small compared to the library ceiling.

• In Question A, it asks who painted the larger fraction, which would be Ashley.
• In Question B, it asks who painted the larger area of the ceiling, which would be Alex.
