Destiny says that 7/8 is larger than 4/5 because 7 and 8 are both larger than 4 and 5.
Tom told her that he agrees that 7/8 is larger, but her reason isn't accurate.
Respond as Tom. What would you explain to Destiny so that she understands why 7/8 is bigger than 4/5.
7/8 is larger primarily because eighths are smaller than fifths. This would mean that 7/8 is closer to being one whole than 4/5 is. Also, both 7/8 and 4/5 are one unit fraction away from being a whole. 7/8 is a smaller unit fraction from the whole; therefore, it is going to be larger than 4/5 because it doesn't have much "space" left before it becomes a whole.
1 6/8 cups or 1 3/4 cups
