Question

Elliot is moving a table through a doorway. The table is 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction ft wide and the doorway is 2 and three-fourths ft wide. Which statement explains if the table will fit through the door?

The table will fit because 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction < 2 and three-fourths.
The table will fit because 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction > 2 and three-fourths.
The table will not fit because 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction < 2 and three-fourths.
The table will not fit because 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction > 2 and three-fourths.

Answer 1

The table will fit

Explanation:

Table: 2 3/8 = 19/8

Door: 2 3/4 = 11/4

(Mixed fraction to Improper fraction)

Door: 2 3/4 = 11/4 = 11/4*2 = 22/8

19/8 (Table) > 22/8 (Door)

(Hopefully thats the answer 'cause the question isn't very readable)
