Question

Elliot is moving a table through a doorway. The table is  ft wide and the doorway is  ft wide. Which statement explains if the table will fit through the door?
 

The table will fit because  < .

The table will fit because  > .

The table will not fit because  < .

 

Answer 1

Is the table wider than the door? 3/4 is the same as 6/8 and 6/8 is slightly bigger than 5/8 and the whole number is the same for the table and the door. So 2 5/8 is less than 2 3/4, which we write as 2 5/8<2 3/4, answer 1, because the table will fit through the gap. But mind your fingers! There's only 1/8 of a foot to spare!
