Solve the problem.
Mark and his family went to an amusement park. One half of his family rode a rollercoaster while two sixths of his family rode the bumper cars. Was there an equal number of people who rode the rollercoaster and bumper cars?
Select the correct answer.
Question 2 options:
no
yes
To solve this problem, we need to compare the fractions representing the number of people who rode the rollercoaster and bumper cars.
One half can be written as 3/6 since the least common denominator is 6.
Two sixths is equivalent to 2/6.
Comparing the fractions, we see that 3/6 is not equal to 2/6.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is:
no
