Question

Which of the following statement is true regarding the given figure?

• A. $\frac{6}{8}>\frac{5}{8}$
• B. $\frac{6}{8}<\frac{5}{8}$
• C. $\frac{6}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$
• D. $\frac{6}{8}\ge \frac{5}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{6}{8}>\frac{5}{8}$


The first bar represents 6 parts selected out of 8 parts which is equal $\text{to}\frac{6}{8}.$
The second bar represents 5 parts selected out of 8 parts which is equal $\text{to}\frac{5}{8}.$

We can see the first fraction bar has more selected parts than the second fraction bar.

$\therefore \frac{6}{8}>\frac{5}{8}$
