Mario shared 6/8 of his allowance for a gift. Tomas shared 1/4 of his money and Anthony shared 2/4
.Assuming that they have the same amount of allowance, who have shared more?
6/8 > 2/4 > 1/4
To determine who shared more, we need to compare the fractions that each person shared.
Let's find a common denominator for the fractions:
- The denominator of 6/8 is 8.
- The denominator of 1/4 is 4.
- The denominator of 2/4 is also 4.
Now let's simplify the fractions to have the same denominator:
- 6/8 can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
- 1/4 remains the same.
- 2/4 is already in its simplest form.
Now let's compare the numerators:
- Mario shared 3/4 of his allowance.
- Tomas shared 1/4 of his money.
- Anthony shared 2/4 of his allowance.
Comparing 3/4, 1/4, and 2/4, we can see that Mario shared the most, as 3/4 is larger than 1/4 and 2/4.
