Answer 1

Answer:

D would be the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Rico's orange is 2/3

A's orange is 1/2, which is not the same color.

B's orange is 6/9, which simplifies to 2/3. This would be the same as Rico's, not a shade redder.

C's orange is 4/5. When comparing them equally, C's orange is 12/15, and Rico's is 10/15. C's orange would be redder than Rico's, not yellower.

D is correct because when comparing the two, 6/9, Rico's orange, has more yellow paint than 6/8. Therefore D's orange would have more red than Rico's orange.

Hope this helps :)
