Abby and Pete are making rugs. They have each finished part of the rugs as shown by the shapes on the board. Which statement about the rugs is true?
a) Abby has finished more of her rub because 2/6 > 3/6
b) Abby has finished less of her rug because 2/6 < 3/6
c) Pete has finished more of his rug because 2/6 > 3/6
d) Pete has finished less of his rug because 2/6 < 3/6
I can see that Pete finished more of his rug so I can slash the trash on A and B. 3/6 is bigger than 2/6 so D is the correct answer.
Look at the picture on the board. Marge colors 3/4 of her circle and Paul colors 7/8 of his circle. Which statement is true about the circles?
a) Marge's uncolored part is larger than Paul's, so 3/4 > 7/8
b) Marge's uncolored part is larger than Paul's so 3/4 < 7/8
c) Marge's uncolored part is smaller than Paul's so 3/4 > 7/8
d) Marge's uncolored part is smaller than Paul's so 3/4 < 7/8
B. Marge's uncolored part is larger than Paul's so I can automatically slash the trash on C and D. Marge's uncolored part is larger than Paul's so 3/4 < 7/8. I can use strategy 4 to help me solve this one.
