On Monday 3/8 inches of snow fell On Tuesday 5/8 inches of snow fell. Which statement correctly compares the snow amount ... A ... 3/8 = 5/8 B ... 3/8 less than 5/8 ... C ... 5/8 less than 3/8 ... D ... 3/8 greater than 5/8 ...

B because in the fractions 3/8 and 5/8 five is bigger than 3 but if it was - 3/8 and - 5/8 - 3/8 is bigger cause its closer to 0. Why is that? you might ask, well its because with any negative number that is being compared you check for the number closer to 0. For example, - 5 > - 63

The answer would be B
