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.

Circle A is shown. Secant W Y intersects tangent Z Y at point Y outside of the circle. Secant W Y intersects circle A at point X
timama [110]

Circle A is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

∠XYZ = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the angle ∠XYZ in the image attached.

To solve that, we will use the formula in the theorem for angle formed by secants or tangents. Thus;

∠XYZ = ½(arc WZ - arc XZ)

From the image, arc WZ = 175° and arc XZ = 105°

Thus;

∠XYZ = ½(175 - 105)

∠XYZ = ½(70)

∠XYZ = 35°

Find the equation of the circle with center at the origin that contains the point (-8,6)
Katena32 [7]
The center is at origin O(0,0).
If it contains the point, P(-8,6), then the radius r is, by Pythagoras theorem,
r=sqrt((-8)^2+6^2)=10

The general equation of a circle at centre (xc,yc) with radius r is given by
(x-xc)^2+(y-yc)^2=r^2

Substituting r=10, (xc,yc)=(0,0)
the resulting equation is therefore

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2
or simply
x^2+y^2=100
