13. Higher Order Thinking Eve and Gerard

each have of a poster to paint. Eve

divided her half into 6 equal sections. She

painted one section blue. Gerard divided

his half into 5 equal sections. He painted

one section blue. Whose blue section is

larger? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Gerard's blue section is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eve  divided her half into 6 equal sections and painted one section blue.

So, the blue-painted part will be of size [tex](\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6}) = \frac{1}{12}[/tex] part of the whole poster.

Again, Gerard  divided her half into 5 equal sections and painted one section blue.

So, the blue-painted part will be of size [tex](\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5}) = \frac{1}{10}[/tex] part of the whole poster.

Now, since 12 > 10, so, [tex]\frac{1}{12} < \frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Therefore, Gerard's blue section is larger. (Answer)
