Question

Assume that you ate 3/4 of a bag of popcorn and the person next to you ate 4/5 of a bag of popcorn.

(i) Who ate more popcorn? SHOW how you came up with the answer.

Answer 1

Answer: The person next to you ate more popcorn.

Explanation:

3 divided by 4 is 0.75, which is equivalent to 75%. 4 divided by 5 is 0.8, which is equivalent to 80%. Now that you've calculated the percentages of how much they ate, you can assume that 80 > 75 (80 is greater than 75).
