Felicia has two rolls of ribbon. One roll is blue. The other roll is red. Each roll is 10 feet long. She used 1/2 of the blue ribbon and 5/8 of the red ribbon. Did she use more of the blue ribbon or red ribbon? Explain

1/2 = 4/8
4/8< 5/8
The red ribbon

She used more of the red ribbon because 1/2 can be converted to 4/8, and 4/8 is less than 5/8
Hope this helped ;)
