Tom, Lisa, and Jane are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of sugar from a can containing 4 pounds of sugar. Tom used 13% of the total sugar in the can. Lisa used 0.6 pound of the total sugar in the can. Jane used 0.12 of the total sugar in the can. Who used the greatest amount of sugar from the can? Show your work and explain your answer in words.

 

Tom used: 0.52 I figured it out by doing this: 0.13x4= 0.52 Lisa used: 2.4 I figured it out by doing this: 0.6x4= 2.4 Jane used: 0.48 I figured it out by doing this: 0.12x4= 0.48

so Lisa used the most

 

Did I do it right?

Let's see

4 x .13  = .52lbs

4 x .6 = 2.4lbs

4 x .12= .48lbs

Yep....it looks like everything is OK....!!
