Question

Ordan has _ 5 8 can of green paint and _ 3 6 can of blue paint. If the cans are the same size, does Jordan have more green paint or blue paint? Explain.

Answer 1

Jordan has more green paints

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Green = (5)/(8)`

`Blue = (3)/(6)`

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

`Green = (5)/(8)`

`Green = 0.625`

For the blue paint:

`Blue = (3)/(6)`

`Blue = 0.5`

By comparison:

`0.625 > 0.5`

This means that Jordan has more green paints
