Samya ate 1/2 of a cake. Kallina ate 3/8
of another cake the same size as Samya's cake.
Which statement correctly compares the
amount of cake Samya and Kallina ate?
A. Samya ate more cake because
1/2 is equal to 4/8 and 4/8 > 3/8
B. Kallina ate more cake because 3 is bigger than 1
and 8 is bigger than 2, so 3/8 > 1/2
C. Samya and Kallina ate the same amount of cake.
A is correct because 1/2 is greater than 3/8 because if I turn 1/2 into eighths, it would be 4/8 and 4/8 is bigger than 3/8 so Samya ate more cake than Kallina.
