Question

John, Carla, and Kai entered a business partnership to open a frozen yogurt shop. If John owns $\frac { 3 } { 8 }$ ​of the company and Kai owns $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$ , Carla owns $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ of the business.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John owns $\frac { 3 } { 8 }$ of the company, Kai owns $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$ , and Carla owns $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ of the business. $\frac { 3 } { 8 } + \frac { 1 } { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 8 } + \frac { 2 } { 8 } + \frac { 4 } { 8 } = \frac { 9 } { 8 }$. Since $\frac { 9 } { 8 }$ is greater than 1, the statement is true.
