I ate 4/6 paratha yesterday evening. I ate 4/5 paratha yesterday evening. Between Sevi and Shami, can you tell who ate more? Use your fraction kit to find the answer.

4/6 and 4/5 have the same numerator, but fifths are bigger than sixths. So, 4/5 is larger than 4/6. This means the person who ate 4/5 paratha ate more than the one who ate 4/6.

  1. Both fractions have 4 pieces eaten, but the size of each piece is different. One-fifth piece is bigger than one-sixth piece. So, eating 4 fifths means eating a larger portion than eating 4 sixths. Using the fraction kit, I see that 4/5 covers more than 4/6. Therefore, the child who ate 4/5 paratha had more food compared to the one who ate 4/6.
