Question

Georgina has 3/8 yard of blue fabric and 1/4 yard of red fabric. Does she have the same amount of blue and red fabric? Use the models to help you. Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer: No.

Explanation:

If you change the equation so they both have a common denominator, you can turn 1/4 into 2/8. After this, it’s easy to tell 2/8 is less than 3/8. Georgina has more blue fabric than red.
