Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

he class ate 3/41 = <<3/41=3/4>>3/4 of one pan of plain brownies

They also ate 1/61 = <<1/61=1/6>>1/6 of another pan of plain brownies

The total amount of plain brownies they ate is 3/4 + 1/6 = <<3/4+1/6=5/6>>5/6

The class ate 5/61 = <<5/61=5/6>>5/6 of one pan of brownies with sprinkles

They also ate 1/101 = <<1/101=1/10>>1/10 of another pan of brownies with sprinkles

The total amount of brownies with sprinkles they ate is 5/6 + 1/10 = 5/6 + 1/10 = 41/60

The class ate more plain brownies because 5/6 > 41/60. Answer: {5/6}.
