Answer:
Jonathan sold 25 of his 35 candy bars, and Jared sold 24 of his 28 candy bars. Let’s calculate the fractional part of the total number of candy bars each person sold:
a. Fractional part of total number of candy bars sold by Jonathan:
Jonathan sold 25 out of 35 candy bars.
The fractional part can be calculated by dividing the number of candy bars sold by the total number of candy bars: 25/35.
Simplifying this fraction, we get: 5/7.
b. Fractional part of total number of candy bars sold by Jared:
Jared sold 24 out of 28 candy bars.
The fractional part can be calculated by dividing the number of candy bars sold by the total number of candy bars: 24/28.
Simplifying this fraction, we get: 6/7.
To determine which person sold the greater fractional part, we compare the fractions:
Jonathan sold 5/7 of his total number of candy bars.
Jared sold 6/7 of his total number of candy bars.
Therefore, Jared sold a greater fractional part (6/7) compared to Jonathan (5/7).
