If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same. For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.
But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with. Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1. If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies. Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.
So, which one is the greatest fraction? In this case, who had more cookies? That would be you. So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.
Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points are (-2,2) and (-2,-3).
Now we need to find equation of the line passing through the given points.
So let's begin by finding slope
which is undefined. That means graph of the line must be vertical as you can see that in given points, x-value is not changing.
Equation of vertical line is given by x=k where k is the fixed value of x-coordinate.
x-coordinate is -2 in given points.
Hence final equation is x=-2.
Answer:
In Buffalo, New York, the temperature was -14°F in the morning. If the temperature dropped 7°F, what is the temperature now?
Step-by-step explanation:
You just need to get a situation where there would be negative increase. My example was temperature, but other easy examples could be money (debt, etc) or sea level.
The area of 5ft, 4ft, 5ft, 6ft, is 50 ft.
