She have more round buttons
To determine whether Lucy has more square buttons or round buttons, we need to compare the fractions given.
First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions 2/3 and 2/8. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 8 is 24.
Now, let's multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 8, and the numerator and denominator of 2/8 by 3:
2/3 * 8/8 = 16/24
2/8 * 3/3 = 6/24
Now we can compare the fractions:
16/24 (square buttons) vs. 6/24 (round buttons)
Since 16/24 is greater than 6/24, Lucy has more square buttons than round buttons.
