5. A bottle of juice is divided between 3 friends, Jason gets \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the juice, Joseph gets \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the bottle and Siswe gets \( \frac{5}{12} \). By comparing the fractions, calculate who will get the most juice.

To compare the juice portions each friend receives, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions \( \frac{1}{3} \), \( \frac{1}{4} \), and \( \frac{5}{12} \). The least common multiple of 3, 4, and 12 is 12. Now, convert each fraction: - \( \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12} \) - \( \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12} \) - \( \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{12} \) Now we have the fractions \( \frac{4}{12} \) for Jason, \( \frac{3}{12} \) for Joseph, and \( \frac{5}{12} \) for Siswe. Clearly, \( \frac{5}{12} \) is the largest, meaning Siswe gets the most juice! So cheers to Siswe for that refreshing drink! If you ever find fractions conflicting in life, remember to bring them together with a common denominator—it’s like finding a common language for your juice!
