Know the Answer?

Adeline Mcintyre · Answer 1

Antoine has more folds because tenths are ten folds and they are short

Tanya however has the larger folded areas because they are eighths and thats 8 folds in 1 paper and it will take one fold a lot of room to fit all the right pieces

Miles Fritz · Answer 2

Antoine has more folds because he folds it into tenths. Tanya has the larger folded areas because she folds it into eighths, meaning less folds and bigger areas (You could try this yourself by folding some paper)
