From Anouska:
In category A, Annie gave 5 out of 6 responses. I make this 83%
I the same category, Adam gave 4 out of 10 responses. I make this 40%
Does this mean that Annie gave 43% more responses in this category than Adam?

2/3 vs 3/4 |
2002-01-02 |
|
From Julia:
So, here's my question. Some of the problems they've had to do starts off with two fractions, and they have to tell whether the two fractions are: - The first one is greater than the second one
- The first one is less than the second one, or
- They are equal.
One day my son had the problem of 2/3 vs 3/4. Without drawing out a pie chart, how in the world can a child "eyeball" a problem like this and tell what the correct answer is? I've also tried to teach about making common denominators, but that's going over his head at this point.

From Shelly:
Is there a way to compare means and standard deviations that come from different size samples? Is there an equation that can normalize sample size?
