Answer: 1/4 is greater than 2/7 mowed most of the lawn.

Explanation:

First, draw a fraction model for
(2)/(7) and
(1)/(4) and partition it. Then, how ever many you get write it as a fraction. Then, see whose answer is greater.

Answer: 2/7 = 8/28

1/4 = 7/28

Therefore Mr Pham mowed more.

8+7 = 15 so 15/28 of lawn has been mowed, therefore 13/28 of the lawn is left still to be mowed.

Mr. Pham mowed more of the lawn than his son.

it still needs ¹³/₂₈ of the lawn to be mowed.
