Floyd caught a fish that weighed 2/3 pound. Kira caught a fish that weighed 7/8 pound. Whose fish weighed more? Explain the strategy you used to the problem.

Kira's fish caught more the first step to find the answer is find the common denominator so Floyds fish weighed 2/3 and Kira's was 7/8 take 8 X 3 = 24 so 24 is the common denominator now you have to take 2 X 8 = 16 and 7 X 3 = 21 so Floyds fish is 16/24 and Kira's is 21/24 making Kira's the bigger fish
