    How is it even that difficult to understand? ¼ is 25% of a pound ⅓ is 33% of a pound.

    33 is a bigger number then 25. Where is the confusion coming from?

        Where is it they’re getting confused is it that people don’t understand fractions or that they don’t understand percentages? Because fractions are taught to 12 year olds using cake or pizza is an analogy I thought Americans would be on board with that.
