Annabelle and Ezra have a dog that eats 3/4 of a cup of food every morning. Annabelle lost the 1/4 cup so she used the 1/3 cup and gave him 2/3 of a cup of food. Ezra says that Annabelle did not feed the dog enough food. Annabelle says she gave him more than enough.

Answer:

Ezra is correct. 2/3 = 8/12, 3/4 = 9/12. 8/12 is less than 9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can multiply the fractions (by multiplying both the top and bottom of a fraction, its value remains the same) by the opposite denominator. This gives us a least common denominator, so we can easily compaire the fractions.
Ezra is correct
3/4 is more than 2/3
