the jars of paint in the art room have different amounts of paint the green paint jar is 4 eighths full the purple paint jar is 4 sixths full which paint jar is less full
Answer:
Green paint jar is less full
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
The green paint jar is \(\frac{4}{8}\) full
The purple paint jar is tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] full
To Find:which paint jar is less full
Solution:
To find which is less in \(\frac{4}{8}\) and \(\frac{4}{6}\)
Take LCM of denominators
LCM of 8 an 6 is 24
Now make the denominator of both fractions 24
So. Green paint : \(\frac{4}{8} *\frac{3}{3} =\frac{12}{24}\)
Purple paint : \(\frac{4}{6} *\frac{4}{4} =\frac{16}{24}\)
So, \(\frac{12}{24}<\frac{16}{24}\)
\(\frac{4}{8}<\frac{4}{6}\)
Thus green paint jar is less full
