trevor bought 16 candies and ate 1/4 of them paige bought 8 candies and ate 1/2 of them who ate more candies

1 answer

Let's calculate how many candies Trevor and Paige ate.

Trevor bought 16 candies and ate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of them: \[ \text{Candies Trevor ate} = 16 \times \frac{1}{4} = 4 \]

Paige bought 8 candies and ate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of them: \[ \text{Candies Paige ate} = 8 \times \frac{1}{2} = 4 \]

Both Trevor and Paige ate the same amount of candies, which is 4. Thus, neither one ate more than the other; they both ate the same number of candies.
