Marie hiked 1/4 mile, dan hiked 2/3 mile, and tina hiked 3/8 mile. who hiked the farthest?

To compare these numbers, we must find a common denominator.

We have dominators 4, 3 and 8.

LCM(4, 3, 8) = 24

Dan hiked the farthest.

Other method.

is less than half, because 2 of 4 is the half

is less than half, because 4 of 8 is the half

is greater than half, because 1.5 of 3 is the half

Conclusion: is the largest fraction.
