The table shows the height increases in inches, of some of the girls in Gina’s class from last month to this month. What girl had a height increase that was greater than 1/2 inch?

The correct answer is Maxine

Explanation:

One of the easiest ways for knowing if a fraction is greater than another is by converting fractions to decimal numbers. This implies dividing the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). In the case of fraction, the decimal number is 0.5 considering 1 divided into 2 is equal to 0.5. Now to know if other fractions are greater or smaller, this process needs to be repeated.
