Question

The parts of chocolate bars with sprinkles are the fractions of the chocolate bars eaten by Henry, Cathy, and John as shown in the figure given below.
Who ate a bigger fraction of their respective chocolate bars?

Answer 1

Cathy ate 2 parts out of 6 parts.
Fraction eaten by Cathy $=\frac{2}{6}$

Henry ate 2 parts out of 8 parts.
Fraction eaten by Henry $=\frac{2}{8}$

John ate 2 parts out of 4 parts.
Fraction eaten by John $=\frac{2}{4}$

When two fractions have the same numerators and different denominators, the fraction with the smallest numerator is the biggest fraction.
$Thus,\frac{2}{4}>\frac{2}{6}>\frac{2}{8}$

Therefore, John ate a bigger fraction of his chocolate bar.
