Suki rode her bike 6/7 mile. Claire rode her bike 1/3 mile. They want to compare how far they each rode their bikes using benchmark 1/2. Select the correct answer to describe how to solve the problem.

Sagot :

Answer:

6/7 > 1/2

1/3 < 1/2

Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie

Step-by-step explanation:

Suki's distance = 6/7 miles

Compare with bechmark 1/2

6/7 and 1/2

Make the denominators same

(6*2)/(7*2) and (1*7)/(2*7)

12/14 and 7/14

12/14 is greater than 7/14

12/14 > 7/14

Therefore, 6/7 > 1/2

Clarie distance = 1/3 miles

Compare with bechmark 1/2

1/3 and 1/2

Make the denominators same

(1*2)/(3*2) and (1*3)/(2*3)

2/6 and 3/6

2/6 is less than 3/6

2/6 < 3/6

Therefore,

1/3 < 1/2

Compare Suki's distance with Clarie

compare 6/7 and 1/3

Make the denominators same

(6 * 3)/(7 * 3) and (1 * 7)/(3 * 7)

18/21 and 7/21

18/21 > 7/21

Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie
