When the numerator are the same, which ever fraction's denominator is smaller is the larger number.
olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago

If you have two identical and symmetrical objects and divide one into 4ths and the other into 6ths, the pieces of the object divided into 4ths will be larger than the pieces of the object divided into 6ths.

1/4 = 25                                       4/4 = 100
1/6 = 16.66... (17)                        6/6 = 100
25 > 17

Simplify a^2-3a/a^3-8a^2+12a to lowest terms
svetoff [14.1K]

In order to simplify a fraction, we have to find a common factor in both numerator and denominator. So, let's start by factor the expressions completely: at the numerator we have

a^2-3a = a(a-3)

At the denominator we have

a^3-8a^2+12a = a(a^2-8a+12) = a(a-2)(a-6)

So, the fraction can be written as

\dfrac{a(a-3)}{a(a-2)(a-6)}

You can see that there is a factor a in common, that can be simplified:

\dfrac{a(a-3)}{a(a-2)(a-6)} = \dfrac{a-3}{(a-2)(a-6)}
