Christopher has 3/4 of a pie. Alex has 2/3 of a pie. Jaden has 1/2 of a pie. Who has the biggest amount? Who has the least? How much pie do the boys has altogether? Use number line or model

Answer 1

First, you convert them all so they have the same denominator.

So,

3/4= 9/12

2/3=8/12

1/2=6/12

0----1/12----2/12----3/12----4/12----5/12----6/12----7/12----8/12----9/12----10/12----11/12----1

Christopher has the most becayse 9/12 is greater than 8/12 and 6/12.

Jaden has the least.

All together, they have 9+8+6 out of 12 which = 23/12= 1 11/12 pies
