Question

jessie and jeff are planting seeds. Jessie said she planted 3/8 of the seeds and jeff planted 2/3 of the seeds.Is this possible? explain why or why not?

Answer 1

no, since 3/8 + 2/3 > 1

Answer 2

3/8 = 0.375
2/3 = 0.667

0.375 + 0.667 = 1.042 -- whoop -- that's more than one.

Answer 3

ok thank you!
