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.

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation
wolverine [178]

The question is missing the graph. So, it is attached below.

Answer:

(D) 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A graph of height versus width.

The equation given is:

Height = constant × Width

Rewriting in terms of 'constant'. This gives,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}------------- (1)  

The width is plotted on the X-axis and the corresponding height is plotted on the Y-axis.

The four points plotted on the line are:

(x, y) = (0.5, 1.6), (1, 3.2), (2, 6.4)\ and\ (3, 9.6).

Now, any point will satisfy equation (1).

Consider the point (0.5, 1.6). So, height = 1.6 and width = 0.5. Therefore,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}\\\\\textrm{Constant}=\frac{1.6}{0.5}=3.2

Also, we observe that for all the remaining points,

\dfrac{3.2}{1}=\dfrac{6.4}{2}=\dfrac{9.6}{3}=3.2.

Hence, the value of the constant is 3.2.

Option (D) is correct.
