Question

A dog named Bailey buried his bone 7/10 foot underground. A dog named Daisy buried her bone 11/15 foot underground. Which dog dug the deeper hole?

Answer 1

Daisy!

Explanation:

One way to see what fraction is bigger is to find the GCF. (greatest common factor) Meaning, find a number that 10 and 15 can multiply to. Let's say 5. Since you divided 10 by 2, divide 7 by 2. Since you divided 15 by 3, divide 11 by 3.

7/10 becomes 3.5/5

11/15 becomes 3.6/5

So, Daisy buried her bone deeper.

Hope this helps! Sorry if it doesn't make much sense just ask me if you have any questions! :)

Answer 2

Daisy

Explanation:

To compare, we want common denominators. 30 is a common multiple of both of them.

(7/10)*3 = 21/30

(11/15)*2 = 22/30

Daisy buried her bone 1/30 further underground than Bailey
