Question

in Mike’s house are broken now. His father replaced 3/14 of the broken) .4 windows. Uncle Jack replaced 1/7 of the broken windows. Who replaced the greater fraction of the broken windows?

Answer 1

Mike's father produces a greater fraction.

Explanation:

Amount of windows replaced by Mike's father = 3/14

Amount of windows replaced by Uncle Jack = 1/7

This 1/7 can also be expressed as 2/14

Now, since they both have the same denominators, it means that the higher the numerator the greater than the other fraction.

Thus, 3/14 is greater than 2/14.

Hence, Mike's father replaced a greater fraction of the broken windows.
