Solution (A):
In this case, Ashley painted the larger fraction.
- => 1/2 and 1/4
- => 2/4 and 1/4
- => 2/4 > 1/4
Solution (B):
Although Ashley painted a larger fraction, Alex painted the larger ceiling area because the area of the library ceiling is larger than the area of the bathroom ceiling.
Solution (C):
The results should be different because the area of the bathroom ceiling looked small compared to the library ceiling.
