Question

Mark, Charlie and Tom ate $\frac{3}{9},\frac{4}{9}$ and $\frac{2}{9}$ of a Pizza respectively. Who ate most among the three?

• A. Mark
• B. Tom
• C. Charlie
• D. All ate equally.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Charlie

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

$\underset{–}{Method}$:
Since 4>3>2
All three numbers wouldn't change the sign of inequality on dividing by 9.
Therefore, $\frac{4}{9}>\frac{3}{9}>\frac{2}{9}$
Charlie ate $\frac{4}{9}$ of the Pizza and is highest fraction among the three.
Therefore, Charlie ate more among the three.
