Question

practice set
solve each problem.

1. an ant crawled \\(\frac{3}{6}\\) the length of a bench. a spider crawled \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) the length of the same bench. which animal crawled farther? write the symbol to make the statement true.

the ________ crawled further. \\(\frac{3}{6}\\) ____ \\(\frac{3}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Simplificar fracciones

Simplificamos $\frac{3}{6}$: $\frac{3\div3}{6\div3}=\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
Simplificamos $\frac{3}{4}$: $\frac{3}{4}=0.75$

Step2: Comparar valores

Comparamos $0.5$ y $0.75$. Como $0.5<0.75$, entonces $\frac{3}{6}<\frac{3}{4}$. El araña recorrió más, ya que $\frac{3}{4}$ es mayor que $\frac{3}{6}$.

Answer:

The spider crawled further. $\frac{3}{6}$ < $\frac{3}{4}$
