Question

Mike drank more than half the juice in his glass. what fraction of the juice could Mike have drunk?

Answer 1

Anything Bigger than 1/2 or anything below >1/2

Answer 2

He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.

First, lets find equivalents of 1/2


`(1)/(2)= (2)/(4) = (3)/(6)= (4)/(8)`

If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.

2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4

3/4 is greater than 1/2

Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice

4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice

5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.

Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions
