Eddie got 2⁄6 of the rope. Andy got 2⁄8 of the rope. Fred got 1⁄3 of the rope. what piece is gratrer
Look for LCM of 6, 8 and 3, which is 24, so
Eddie 2/6 = 8/24
Andy 2/8 = 6/24
Fred 1/3 = 8/24
Alternatively, note that 2/6 is the same as 1/3, and 2/8 is the same as 1/4, and 1/3 is greater than 1/4.
thx for the help
