Heather and jerry each bought an ice cream bar. although the bars were the same size, they were different flavors. heather ate 5/8 of her ice cream bar, and jerry ate 5/10 of his. who are more or did they eat the same amount

Heather ate more than Jerry

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Heather ate 5/8

Jerry ate 5/10

Decompose the number in the denominator in prime factors

Find out the LCM  (least common multiple)

LCM=2^{3}(5)=40

Divide

40/8=5

40/10=4

Multiply Heather's fraction by 5/5

Multiply Jerry's fraction by 4/4

Compare the fractions

Remember that

When comparing two fractions with the same denominator, the largest fraction will be the one with the largest numerator

therefore

Heather ate more than Jerry
