Answer:

Her sister read a greater fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

To find one who read the greater fraction of her book between Melanie and her sister, we will have to find the fraction of book Melania read and compare it with the fraction of book her sister read.

Since we know that Melanie read 45pages of a 100 pages book.

Fraction of pages of book Melanie read = number of pages read in the book / number of page in the book

Fraction of pages of book Melanie read = 45/100 = 9/20

And we are given that the

Fraction of book Melanie sister read = 1/2

To know which of the two fraction is greater, we compare them by making the denominator of both fraction equal, then we compare their numerators.

Melanie fraction= 9/20

Her sister fraction = 1/2 = 10/20

Since the numerator of her sister fraction (10) is greater than the numerator of Melanie (9).

It mean her sister read a greater fraction.

Hope this help
