Question

James and Lucas ate $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ of a chocolate respectively. Who ate more?

• B. Lucas
• C. Both ate equally
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A James

$\underset{–}{ConceptUsed}$:
Fractions with the same denominators are like fractions and the value of their numerators determine the order.

$\underset{–}{Method}$:
Since 3 > 2
These two numbers wouldn't change the sign of inequality on dividing by 5.
Therefore, $\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}$
James ate $\frac{3}{5}$ of the chocolate and is greater than $\frac{2}{5}.$
Therefore, James ate more than the Lucas
