Question

Jada has 1/4

cup of juice. Her sister has 2/3 cup of juice. Jada adds the
amount and says that together they have of a 3/7 cup of juice. Which
comparison explains why Jada answer is not correct?
A.Because
3/7>2/3
B.Because
3/7<2/3
C.Because
2/3<1/4
D.Because
1/4>3/7​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If 2/3 is larger than 3/7, you don't even need to add the two numbers and you already know that it is not going to make sense.

2/3 > 3/7

1/4 + 2/3 > 3/7

Then that way, when you find the sum, it is automatically not equal.
