Question

Ellen, Fern, and Kyle are all drinking milk from the same size cartons in the cafeteria. Ellen's carton is 3/7 full. Ferns carton is 3/10 full. Kevin's carton is 3/4 full. Who has the least milk left in their carton? Explain how you know?
Ms. Sue
Change each of these fractions to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Ok so 3/7=.42, 3/10=.32 and 3/4= .75. So Fern has the least amount left in her carton
Ms. Sue
Yes. Fern has the least amount. But she only has 0.3 not 0.32.

Thank you so much Ms. Sue
Ms. Sue
You're very welcome, Amari.
Fern's, because the smaller the denominator the bigger the piece.
