Detailed Solution

As we know these two fractions given are in the form of mixed fractions, we must convert them into simpler fractions.
Kylie’s pocket money = 38/7
Jack’s pocket money = 38/14
Karl’s pocket money = 19/2
Since the simple fractions we got are unlike fractions, we must convert them into like fractions.
As the GCF is 14 for the three we will get
Kylie = 76/14 Jack = 38/14 Karl = 133/14
When we compare the amount, we can see that Karl received the most pocket money out of these three.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
