Question

A trail mix has 1/2 cup of rainsins and 2/3 cup of peanuts. which ingredient has the greater amount?

Answer 1

2/3 cup of peanuts because when you convert fractions to decimals, the decimals that are converted depends on which fraction is greater. 2/3 converted to a decimal would be 0.66 and 1/2 would be converted to 0.50 

Answer 2

2/3 because if you use a model of a circle and shade in 1/2 and then 2/3 of another circle the 2/3 is larger
