Question

Maya and Aimee compare the fractions 2/3 and 3//5. Their work is shown below.

Answer 1

Maya is correct. She wrote equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then correctly compared the fractions. Aimee wrote equivalent fractions with the same numerator but did not correctly compare the fractions. Only Maya is correct.

When you're comparing fractions, you have to set them equal to the same denominator, not the same numerator.

Hope this helps
