Altruismo and Amistad are having a competition. So far, Altruismo has gathered 50 1/7 pounds of recyclable materials. Amistad has gathered 50 2/3 pounds of recyclable materials. Which house has gathered more materials?
Amistad because I know that 50 = 50, and so I look to my fractions. I know that 1/7 is less than 2/3 because sevenths will have smaller parts, and 2/3 is only one part away from being full.
