Question

Rafiq exercised for \(\frac{3}{6}\) of an hour, while Rohit exercised for \(\frac{3}{4}\) of an hour. Who exercised for a longer time?

Answer 1

Rafiq exercised = \(\frac{3}{6}\) of an hour.

Rohit exercised = \(\frac{3}{4}\) of an hour.

On comparing fractions \(\frac{3}{6}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) we get \(\frac{3}{4}\) \(>\) \(\frac{3}{6}\) 

With equal numerators, the fraction with the smaller denominator gets the bigger slice of the pie..

Hence, Rohit exercised for a longer time.
