Question

Candice buys 2/8 of a container of roasted peanuts. Alan buys 2/3 of a container. Both containers are the same size. Candice says 2/8 is between 1/2 and 1, so she buys more peanuts than Alan. Is Candice correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Since my name is in this question, I'll answer it :)

Answer:

Yes, she's right.

Explanation:

2/8 is simplified to 1/4. Between 1 and 1/2, it is 1/4. So yes, I (Candice) was right. :)
