Question

Jan has a recipe for bread.she uses 6/8 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of chopped onion.which ingredients does she use more of,flour or onions?

Answer 1

You have to get a common denomiator first then you can compare the numerators.

Try for a denominator of 24. this means that you have to multiply the top and bottom of the 6/8 fraction by 3. And multiply the 1/3 (top and bottom) by 8.
