Answer:

Jordan has more green paints

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Green = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Blue = \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

[tex]Green = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Green = 0.625[/tex]

For the blue paint:

[tex]Blue = \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Blue = 0.5[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]0.625 > 0.5[/tex]

This means that Jordan has more green paints
