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

Answer 1

To determine who ate more candies, let's calculate how many each person consumed.

Trevor:

• He bought 16 candies.
• He ate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of them: \[ \text{Candies eaten by Trevor} = \frac{1}{4} \times 16 = 4 \]

Paige:

• She bought 8 candies.
• She ate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of them: \[ \text{Candies eaten by Paige} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4 \]

Comparison:

• Trevor ate 4 candies.
• Paige also ate 4 candies.

Since both Trevor and Paige ate the same amount of candies (4 candies), neither ate more than the other.
