Nick measured two crickets in science class. The lengths of the two crickets are shown. Cricket A: 3 inch • Cricket B: inch : 5 8 The science teacher asked Nick to compare the length of each cricket to inch. 6. Part A Nick claims that the length of each cricket is greater than because the numerator of each cricket length is greater than the numerator in 12 2 Compare inch to the length of each cricket using the >, <, or = symbol. then explain whether Nick's reasoning is correct.

1/2 inch > 3/8 inch
1/2 inch < 5/8 inch

Nick’s reasoning is not correct because the numerator of each cricket length may be greater than the numerator in 1/2, but the denominators are different. Therefore this reasoning only applies if the cricket length would’ve had same denominators as in 1/2.
