Question

Ms. Thomspon needs 15/2 yards of red fabric and 7 1/2 yards of silver fabric. which comparison is true.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To compare the two amounts of fabric, we need to express them with a common denominator:

15/2 = 30/4

7 1/2 = 15/2

Now we can compare the two amounts:

30/4 > 15/2

This is true because 30/4 is equal to 7.5 yards, which is greater than 7.5 yards (or 15/2 yards) of silver fabric.

Therefore, Ms. Thompson needs more red fabric than silver fabric.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. 15/2 = 7 1/2 and this comparison is true.

The image shows a question about a comparison of the number of yards of red fabric and silver fabric that Ms. Thompson needs. The question provides the following information:

* Ms. Thompson needs 15 yards of red fabric.

* Ms. Thompson needs 7 yards of silver fabric.

To answer the question, we can convert the mixed numbers to fractions and then compare the fractions.

Converting 7 1/2 to a fraction, we get:

7 1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 14/2 = 7/1

Now, we can compare the fractions:

15/2 = 7/1

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

In other words, Ms. Thompson needs the same amount of red fabric and silver fabric.
