Kira's track is marked in fourths. Kira stops at  /4.
01

2.
Kira ran 2/4 of the track. Ben ran 4/8 of the same track. Their dots are at the same point. Which sentence is true?
  • A. Ben ran farther because 4 is more than 2.
  • B. Kira ran farther because fourths are longer jumps than eighths.
  • C. 2/4 and 4/8 are equal because they are at the same point.
  • D. 2/4 is less than 4/8 because 2/4 has smaller numbers.
