Jinil had 6 packs of pencils, and each pack was 2/5 full. Laura had 8 packs of pencils, each 1/4 full. Who had more pencils? How many packs more?
I think Jinil has more pencils but I don't know how many packs he had more I don't know how to do that.
it doesn't make sense to me because he has 6 packs and she has 8 so he cant have more
2/5= 0.40
1/4= 0.25
So Jinil has 6 packs. Each pack was 0.4 full.
Laura has 8 packs of pencils, and each pack is 0.25 full.
Its asking who has more packs
So does Jinil have more packs or does Laura has more packs
Example: If Laura has 8 and if Jinil has 4, the full answer would be that Laura has the most packs. Laura has 4 packs more than Jinil.
oh i see thankyou evryone
jinil has more pensil laura has more packs
Yea, Jinil has each pack 0.4 full while Laura has each pack 0.25 full.
Your welcome
To determine who has more pencils, we need to compare the total number of pencils in each person's packs.
First, let's calculate the number of pencils in Jinil's packs. We know that each pack was 2/5 full. To find the number of pencils in one pack, we can multiply the fraction "2/5" by the total number of pencils per pack.
Pencils in Jinil's packs = (2/5) * total number of pencils per pack
Since we don't know the total number of pencils per pack, let's call it "x."
Pencils in Jinil's packs = (2/5) * x
Next, let's calculate the number of pencils in Laura's packs. We know that each pack was 1/4 full. Using the same logic, we get:
Pencils in Laura's packs = (1/4) * x
To compare the number of pencils, we need to know x. Unfortunately, the information provided doesn't give us this value.
Regarding the number of packs, Jinil has 6 packs, and Laura has 8 packs. Therefore, Laura has 2 packs more than Jinil.
In summary:
- It is unclear who has more pencils because we don't know the total number of pencils per pack (x).
- Laura has 2 packs more than Jinil.
