The jars of paint in the art room have different amount of paint. The green paint jar is 4/8 full. The purple paint jar is 4/6 full which paint jar is less full?
32
To determine which paint jar is less full, we need to compare the fractions representing the fill levels of the green and purple jars.
The fraction 4/8 represents the fill level of the green paint jar. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4 in this case. When we simplify, we get 1/2.
The fraction 4/6 represents the fill level of the purple paint jar. Similarly, we can simplify this fraction as well by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 2 in this case. After simplification, we get 2/3.
Now, to compare the two fractions, we can find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3 is 6. So, we convert both fractions to have a common denominator of 6.
For the green paint jar: (1/2) * (3/3) = 3/6
For the purple paint jar: (2/3) * (2/2) = 4/6
Now we can see that the green paint jar is less full because it is represented by the fraction 3/6, while the purple paint jar is represented by the fraction 4/6.
