Is 2/3 greater than 4/8

Mathematics

Find a common denominator to begin. The common denominator is the LCM of both denominators. In this case, the common denominator will be 24.

Now, multiply the numerator by the number you multiplied the denominator. For 2/3, you multiplied 3 by 8, so multiply 2 by 8 to get 16. The fraction is now 16/24. Multiply 4 by 3 since you multiplied 8 by 3 to get 24. You will get 12 and the fraction will become 12/24.

Then, compare. 16/24 is closer to 24/24, or one whole, so 16/24, or 2/3, is greater.

Ok a strategy I use is I make the fractions into decimals like money and then I compare which one is bigger. So 2/3 as a decimal is 1.5 and 4/8 as a decimal is 2. So 4/8 is greater than 2/3. The way I got my answer was that I divided 3 into 2 and got 0.5 and I divided 8 into 4 and that 2. I hoped I helped.

Which system of equations has the solution (4,−2)?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we must solve each of the systems separately. Starting with the first one:

x + y = 2

2x - y = 10

We must find what x or y is equal to and then replace it in the second equation. I'll go with y as it seems easier:

x + y = 2

y = 2 - x

Now that we found y we replace it in the second equation this way. Be careful with the signs, the minus with change our signs:

2x - (2 - x) = 10

2x - 2 + x = 10

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Now that we have x, we replace the variable with its value in one of the equations. Again, for simplicity I'll go with the one that seems easier.

4 + y = 2

y = 2 - 4

y = - 2

An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

There are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

Combine ratio dogs:ferrets:cats = 5:1:9

Let's suppose the number of ferrets is x then:

5x + x + 9x = 45

15x = 45

x = 3

Ferrets x = 3

Dogs = 5x = 5(3) = 15

Cats = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Thus, there are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.
