Glenda wrote 1/7 of her paper on Monday, 1/14 of her paper on Tuesday, and 2.28 of her paper on Wednesday. She said she wrote more than half of her paper. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

1/7 + 1/14 + 2/28 (I assume period is typo)

4/28 + 2/28 + 2/28 = 8/28 = 4/14 which is less than 7/14 which would be one half

Answer 2
