Question

John walked $\frac{3}{7}$ of the total distance while Leo walked $\frac{1}{3}$ of the total distance.

Distance covered by John the distance traveled by Leo.

• A. is more than
• B. is less than
• C. is equal to

Answer 1

The correct option is A is more than

$\text{Distance covered by John =}$ $\frac{3}{7}$

$\text{Distance covered by Leo =}$ $\frac{1}{3}$

We can see that both the fractions have different denominators.

To convert them into like fractions, we will make the denominator equal to 21.


When denominators are same, we compare the numerators.
Greater the numerator, greater the fraction.

Hence, John covered distance more than Leo.
