Which student read the most books, the one who read 1/4 or the one that read 1/8?

Question

If 2 students were in a library and one student read 1/4 of the books and the other student read 1/8 of the books, which student read the most books?

Answer 1

The student that read 1/4 read more. The larger the denominator is, the smaller that fraction is, and the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction. Hope this helps.
