Question

A recipe uses 2/3 cup of flour and 5/8 cup of blueberries. Is there more flour or more blueberries in the recipe?

Answer 1

Hey!
There Is More Flour (2/3) Than Blueberries (5/8) There Is More Flour Because: Let's Say You Have An Enormous Pizza Sliced Into 3rds. So 1/3,2/3,And 3/3. And Lets Say You Had A Pizza In 8ths. 18,2/8,3/8,Etc. Is The Pizza That Is Sliced Into Less Pieces Bigger Than The Pizza That Is Sliced Into More Pieces? Yes, Because If It Is Less Pieces, Bigger Individual Slices. More Pieces, Smaller Individual Slices. Hope That Helps :)

Answer 2

Hey there!
In order to compare these fractions, we can give them a common denominator.
Our least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24. We multiply 2/3 by 8/8 and 5/8 by 3/3 to get
16/24 and 15/24
Therefore, 2/3 is bigger.
Hope this helps!
