To compare fractions , you need to have same denominator.
Just multiply the Numerator and denominator of the fraction by  required number so as to get the common denominator.
for example, In this case , the common denominator is 12.
the first fraction is converted as shown, 5/3=5*4/3*4=20/12
similarly, you can convert others. 
Once you have common denominator, just compare numerators.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
you save labor : 3562.50
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to calculate for labor. 
labor = 3/5 (parts) 
labor + parts = $9500 (total costs)
3/5 parts + parts =9500
3/5 parts + 5/5 parts = 9500
8/5 parts=9500
5/8(8/5 parts) = 5/8 (9500)
‘parts = 5937.50
labor=3562.50 (3/5 x 5937.50)
total = 9500

Answer:
1. 8.5 yards.
2. $42.5 
Step-by-step explanation:  
We have been given that Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric. Each piece is  yards long.
 yards long.
1. To find the total length of fabric bought by Sue we will multiply length of each fabric piece by 5.




Therefore, Sue bought 8.5 yards of fabric.
2. 1 yard of fabric costs $5.
So 8.5 yards of fabric will cost : 5*8.5 


Therefore, the cost of total fabric bought by Sue is $42.5.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
f(x) = 1/2(4 - x)(x - 1)(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering zero's and a coefficient, the function is:
f(x) = a(x - 4)(x - 1)(x - 2)
Considering y-intercept:
f(0) = a(0 - 4)(0 - 1)(0 - 2)
4 = a(-4)(-1)(-2)
4 = -8a
a = -1/2
So the function is:
f(x) = -1/2(x - 4)(x - 1)(x - 2) = 1/2(4 - x)(x - 1)(x - 2)
