Lucas skates 2/8 mile from his home to school. Isabella skates 2/4 mile to get to school. Who skates farther

Isabella skates further

Isabella skates further.

to answer this, u would have to get a common denominator between the two denominators, 4 and 8 which is 8.

2 4

_ = _

4 8

4/8 is isabella's and 2/8 is Lucas's.

so, isabella skates further.

another way to answer the problem is when the numerator is the same and the denominators are different numbers, the denominator with a smaller number is the greater one.

ex: 1 1

_ or _

2 3

1/2 is greater because when u look at a model, 1/2 is greater than 1/3.

anyways, back to the problem,

2 2

_ or _

4 8

2/4 is greater.
