Question

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.
