Answer 1

• Darcy bought more Hamburgers than Cheese
• 1/2 pound of cheese < 5/6 pounds of Hamburgers

Explanation:

Darcy bought 1/2 pounds of cheese and 5/6 pounds of hamburgers.

Convert these to decimals to be sure which is larger:

= 1/2 = 5/6

= 0.5 pounds = 0.83 pounds

The hamburgers are therefore more so the comparison would look like:

1/2 pound of cheese < 5/6 pounds of hamburgers
