$$\frac{5}{8}\ >\ \frac{4}{10}$$  

$$\frac{5}{8}\ <\ \frac{4}{10}$$  

$$\frac{5}{8}\ =\ \frac{4}{10}$$  

$$\frac{4}{8}\ <\ \frac{1}{2}$$  

$$\frac{4}{8}\ >\ \frac{1}{2}$$  

$$\frac{4}{8}\ =\ \frac{1}{2}$$  

$$\frac{8}{10}\ >\ \frac{4}{6}$$  

$$\frac{8}{10}\ <\ \frac{4}{6}$$  

$$\frac{8}{10}\ =\ \frac{4}{6}$$  

Sarah ate more than Cole because $$\frac{1}{2}>\frac{2}{5}$$  .

Sarah's sandwich was bigger than Cole's so Sarah ate more.

They ate the same amount because $$\frac{1}{2}=\ \frac{2}{5}$$  .

The sandwiches are different sizes so it's impossible to compare the fractions and tell who ate more.

Ben

Emily

They both read the same amount.
