Question

Tasha plans to tile the floor in her room with square tiles that are 1/4 foot long. Will she use more or fewer tiles if she is only able to purchase square that are 1/3 long? Explain

Answer 1

She will use fewer tiles as 1/4 is less than 1/3.

Answer 2

Tasha will use more tiles because 1/4 is smaller fractional portion than 1/3. (1/4=3 ft, 1/3= 4 ft)
