Question

at the park, people can climb a rope ladder to its top. rosa climbed 2/8 of the up the ladder. Justin climbed 2/6 of the way up the ladder. who climbed higher on the rope ladder?

Answer 1

well if you make the denominater of the fraction the same, aka finding the lowest common multiple you can find out so what you do is 8 and 6 both go into 24 8 goes into 24 3 times and 6 goes 4 times so you multiply the numerator by how many times the denominator goes into the LCM(lowest common multiple) and get 6/24 and 8/24 meaning justin climbed higher
