Question

Ricardo has read 2/3 of a book. Lin had read 2/4 of the same book. Who read more of the book?

Answer 1

2/3=4/6 2/4=3/6 4/6 is greater than 3/6 so Ricardo has read more.

Answer 2

The fractions 2/4 and 3/4 have the same denominator. Fractions with the same denominators are like fractions. If denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger. So 3/4 is larger than 2/4 .
