To know which girl ate the most, we have to compare the two fractions.
To be able to compare the fractions, we can:
1.- We convert to decimal numbers.
2.- We modify the fractions such that both fractions have the same denominator.
To compare the fraction we will change them in a way that both have the same denominator.
Recall that a fraction represents the same number if we multiply it and divide it by the same number.
Notice that:
[tex]\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}\times\frac{8}{8}=\frac{24}{48},[/tex][tex]\frac{4}{8}=\frac{4}{8}\times\frac{6}{6}=\frac{24}{48}\text{.}[/tex]
Since both fractions are the same, we can conclude that both girls ate the same amount.
Answer: 3/6 is equal to 4/8.
Both girls ate the same amount
