Question

Dallas made two pies for Thanksgiving in identical pie tins. 3/8 is left of one pie, and 2/3 is left of the other. Will all the leftover pie fit in one pie tin?

answer choices
a. yes, because 3/8 + 2/3 is less than 1
b. yes, because 3/8 is less than 2/3
c. no, because 3/8 + 2/3 is more than 1
d. no, because 2/3 is more than 3/8​

Answer 1

3/8 = 0.375

2/3 = 0.667

0.375 + 0.667 = 1.042

answer : c. no, because 3/8 + 2/3 is more than 1
