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.

Answer:

(a)x=128 degrees

(b) $\angle APD\neq 116^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\angle ABD+\angle CBD =180^\circ$ (Linear Postulate)\\\angle ABD+116^\circ =180^\circ\\\angle ABD=180^\circ-116^\circ\\\angle ABD=64^\circ$

(a) Now:

$\angle AOD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference)\\x=2 \times 64^\circ\\x=128^\circ$

(b)

$\angle APD=2 \times \angle ABD$ (Inscribed Angle Theorem)\\\angle APD=2 \times 64^\circ\\ \angle APD=128^\circ$

$\angle APD\neq 116^\circ$

Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers, and he used 4 stickers per card. Which expressions can we use to describ

Answer:

$24-4x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers and he used 4 stickers per card. So stickers used in x cards will be 4x.

As initial number of stickers was 24, so we can find number of stickers left after decorating x cards by subtracting number of stickers used in x cards from 24.

$\text{Number of stickers that Niu has left}=24-4x$
