57. Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?
Answer: A
John ate more than Sally.
John consumed 75% of his lunch, while Sally only ate 3/5, which is equivalent to 60%. Therefore, John ate more than Sally.
A) John
This option is correct because 75% is greater than 3/5 (or 60%). John clearly consumed a larger portion of his lunch compared to Sally.
B) Sally
This option is incorrect. Sally ate 3/5 of her lunch, which is 60%. Since John ate 75%, he consumed more than Sally.
C) both
This option is incorrect. For both to be correct, they would need to have eaten the same amount, which is not the case here as John ate more than Sally.
D) equal
This option is incorrect. The amounts consumed are not equal; John ate 75% while Sally ate 60%. Therefore, they did not consume the same quantity.
Conclusion
John is definitively the one who ate more, having consumed 75% of his lunch compared to Sally's 60%. All other options fail because they either misrepresent the amounts eaten or assume equality where there is none.
