To compare the fractions completed by Tina and George, we need to find a common denominator for 2/3 and 7/8.
A common denominator for 3 and 8 is 24 (3 x 8 = 24).
To find the equivalent fractions for 2/3 and 7/8 with a denominator of 24, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
For 2/3: (2/3) x (8/8) = 16/24
For 7/8: (7/8) x (3/3) = 21/24
Now we can see that Tina completed 16/24 of her homework, while George completed 21/24 of his homework.
To determine who completed a greater fraction of homework, we compare the numerators. Since 21 is greater than 16, George completed a greater fraction of homework.
Therefore, George completed a greater fraction of homework than Tina.
