Question

there is only one carton of pears. Jo wants to buy 3/4 of it, and Max to buy 1/3 of it. Will there be enough?

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

Multiply both denominators by each other (multiply the 4 in 3/4 by three, and the 3 in 1/3 by 4). Then, multiply the numerator with the same integers (multiply the 3 in 3/4 by 3, and the 1 in 1/3 by 4). You should get 9/12 and 4/12. When you add those up, the sum is greater than one, therefore not being enough.

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

The reminder of 3/4 is 0.25 while what max wants is 1/3 which is 0.33333 of the box which is not enough
