Makoto and Otis each decorate diamond patterns that are the same size and shape. Makoto deoorates 1/8 of a diamond. Otis decorate 1/4 of a diamond. Who decorates more
trie dividing 1 divided by 8 and then one divided by 4 :)
otis
otis..
because divide the diamond into 4 pieces, then 8. Otis does one fourth
To determine who decorates more, we need to compare the fractions of a diamond that each person decorates.
Makoto decorates 1/8 of a diamond, while Otis decorates 1/4 of a diamond.
To compare these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 8 and 4 is 8.
Now, let's express both fractions with the same denominator:
Makoto decorates (1/8) x (2/2) = 2/16 of a diamond.
Otis decorates (1/4) x (2/2) = 2/8 of a diamond.
Since 2/16 is smaller than 2/8, Otis decorates more of the diamond pattern.
