Question

While arranging for dinner, Lobo uses 7 tables out of 9 tables available and 15 chairs out of 18 chairs available. Find the fraction of the item that is used more in quantity.

• A. Tables
• B. Chairs
• C. Both have an equal fraction
• D. Can't be measured

Answer 1

The correct option is B Chairs

$\text{Lobo uses 7 tables out of 9 tables =}\frac{7}{9}$
$\text{He uses 15 chairs out of 18 chairs =}\frac{15}{18}$

On comparing from the fraction bar diagram, we get:


$\frac{15}{18}\text{is geater than}\frac{14}{18}$

∴ Number of chairs used is more than the number of tables.
