One group of friends has 5 cookies to share between 3 people. a second group of friends has 8 cookies to share between 6 people. what fraction if a cookie does each group get? which group received more?

Group 1:-

5 cookies

3 people

5/3

Group 2:

8 cookies

6 people

8/6

Group 1 each person gets 5/3 and in group 2 each person gets 8/6.

Which is more?

5/3

5 : 3 ≈ 1.6

8/6

8 : 6 ≈ 1.3

Is 1.3 more or 1.6?

1.6 is more.

5/3 (group 1) receive more.

I think it might be 5/3 and 8/6 and 5/3 is bigger than 8/6 so 5/3 would be the bigger group
