Problem of the Week - Upper Elementary - March 21, 2021 to March 27, 2021

Upper Elementary: 

Question: Terry has a goldfish that is 3 1/4 inches long. Margot has a goldfish that is 3.3 inches long. Who has the bigger goldfish? 

Answer: Margot

Solution: To solve this problem, we can convert 3 1/4 to a decimal. A fourth is equal to 0.25, so Terry's fish is 3.25 inches long. That means that Margot's fish is bigger because 3.3 is more than 3.25.
