“…For example, for the ratio 15/30, people may think about the numerator, 15, or the denominator, 30, as whole numbers in isolation rather than as parts of a ratio (15/30 = ½ = 50% = 0.50). People of different ages (Alibali & Sidney, 2015; Braithwaite & Siegler, 2018; Fazio et al, 2016; Fitzsimmons et al, 2020; Ni & Zhou, 2005; Opfer & Devries, 2008), expertise levels (Obersteiner et al, 2013), and cultures (Alonso-Diaz et al, 2019; DeWolf & Vosniadou, 2015; Gómez et al, 2015; Van Hoof et al, 2020) make WNB errors. Reasoning about the magnitude of ratios compared to whole numbers is more effortful, error-prone, and time-consuming (e.g., Fazio et al, 2014; Siegler et al, 2011; Yu et al, 2020).…”
