Answer:
The girl which read 3/6 of a chapter book read more pages than the other girl.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to compare between [tex]\frac{3}{8} \ and \ \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
so, the denominator of both fractions should be the same number
Factor of 6 = 1 * 2 * * 3
Factor of 8 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 2
-------------------------------------------
The common denominator = 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 24
[tex]\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3*3}{3*8} =\frac{9}{24} \\\frac{3}{6} = \frac{4*3}{4*6} =\frac{12}{24}[/tex]
Then compare between [tex]\frac{9}{24} \ and \frac{12}{24} \\[/tex]
So, the fraction of the great numerator will be the great fraction
[tex]\frac{12}{24} > \frac{9}{24}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{3}{6} > \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
==================================================
Another solution:
Convert both fractions to decimal:
3/8 = 0.375
3/6 = 0.5
0.5 > 0.375
===================================================
Third Solution:
As the numerators are equal
The fraction of least denominator is the great fraction
So, 3/6 > 3/8
