Question

Dylan and Javier had the same size serving of vegetables for dinner. Dylan finished 2/3 of his vegetables. Javier ate 4/6 of his serving. Who ate more vegetables? Draw two number lines to justify your answer.

Answer 1

both because 2 x 3 is 6 2x2 is 4 and you get 4/6 so both have the same amount of vegetables

Answer 2

They ate the same amount of vegetables. Because if you simply 4/6 it becomes 2/3 which is equal to Dylans serving.
