Question

there are two pizzas. Conor ate 1/4 of a pizza, Brandon ate 2/8, Tyler ate 3/4, and Audrey ate 4/8. who ate the most of the two pizzas?

Answer 1

Let's say that each pizza is sliced into 8 equal sized pieces, I have to make all of the fraction have the denominator of 8.
Conor: 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Tyler: 3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
Brandon: 2/8
Audrey: 4/8
Then I'll put the fractions in order from least to greatest. 2/8, 2/8, 4/8, 6/8. Then you would have to multiply each fraction by 2 since there are two pizzas that have 8 equally sized pieces.
Brandon: 2/8 *2/2 = 4/16
Conor: 2/8 * 2/2 = 4/16
Audrey: 4/8 * 2/2 = 8/16
Tyler: 6/8 * 2/2= 12/16
This means that Tyler ate the most of the two pizzas.
