well 3 over 10 is bigger than 3 over 14 but to prove it to yourself find a common denominator.
for example
42/140 versus 30/140
Well the problem is if sandra takes 3/14 of the candy and Elise only takes 0.3 how did you come up with 3/10? If it's 3/14..
You have 3/14 and you're comparing that to 0.3. This means you will have to convert .3 to a fraction. Find the common denominator. You will clearly see the answer. Remember, whenever your numerators are the same, the number with the larger denominator is larger. The exception for this would be negative integers.
0.3 IS 3/10 !!!!
Damon, I think you misunderstood me. I realize that .3 is equivalent to 3/10. I was answering the question, not responding to YOUR answer.
Oh, sorry !
I made a mistake on my answer. A larger denominator would be the smaller number if the numerators are the same.
