Question

Alia and Zarius are each reading the same book. Alia read 1/2 of the book on Monday. She read 1/3 of the book on Tuesday. Zarius read 4/8 of the book on

Tuesday and 1/4 on Monday. Zarius said he read more than Alia. Is he correct? Please explain why?

Answer 1

I believe Alia because she read 2.5/3 of the book and Zarius only read 3/4 of the book altogether.

Explanation:

Z; 4/8=1/2 or 2/4 +1/4=3/4

A: 1/2=3/6+2/6= 5/6 if you divide that by 2 then she read 2.5/3 of her book

in then end 3rds are greater then fourths
