Choose the toy piece which requires more amount of wood.

• B. Triangular toy
• C. Both takes same amount of wood
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Triangular toy

$\text{Arvind uses}\frac{3}{5}\text{parts of wood for making}$
a rectangular toy.

$\text{He also uses}\frac{7}{10}\text{parts of wood for making}$
a triangular toy.

On comparing, from the fraction bar diagram, we get:


$\frac{7}{10}>\frac{3}{5}.$

∴ Triangular toy uses more amount of wood than rectangular toy.
