A fraction is bigger or smaller depending on the numerator and denominator.

For example, 1/2 is larger than 1/4 because a half is larger than a quarter. This means that the larger the number underneath, the smaller the number.

But, this can change if the numerator (the number on top) is different than one.

For example, 3/4 is greater than 1/2 because three quarters is more than a half. (two quarters is equal to a half)

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Cost of tshirt = £7.29

Cost of what = £0.86

Step-by-step explanation:

2t +3h = 12; 10t + 15h = 60

5t + 4h =33; 10t + 8h = 66

15h -8h = -6

7h = -6; h = -6/7; h = 0.86

2t +3(-6/7) =12

14t -18 = 84

14t = 102; t = 102/ 14; t=7.29

$x-\ length\\\\
\frac{2}{3}x-\ width\\\\
Area=\ length*width\\\\
864=x*\frac{2}{3}x\\\\
864=\frac{2}{3}x^2\ \ \ | divide\ by\ \frac{2}{3}\\\\
864*\frac{3}{2}=x^2\\\\
