It was breakfast for lunch today, so Rajae and Lily couldn't wait to buy! Once they got their lunches, they noticed their plates looked a little different. Rajae's was 2/3 covered with pancakes, but Lily's was 6/8 covered with pancakes.
Whose plate had more pancakes, Rajae's or Lily's?
Explain or show your reasoning.
Lily's plate had more pancakes. I made 2/3 and 6/8 have common denominators, so then I could compare the numerators.
