Is 1/3 bigger than 5/6

Make them both into 6ths. To do that, multiply 1/3 by 2/2.
1/3x2/2=2/6
No,<em> 5/6 is bigger</em> than 1/3 because it is basically  only 2/6.
Hope this helped!

No because in 1/3 you get 2/6 so if you have 1/3 vs. 5/6 than you only have 1/3 containing 2/6 and we are looking for 5/6 so that is wrong. 5/6 is bigger that 1/3.

Answer:

These techniques for elimination are preferred for 3rd order systems and higher.  They use "Row-Reduction" techniques/pivoting and many subtle math tricks to reduce a matrix to either a solvable form or perhaps provide an inverse of a matrix (A-1)of linear equation AX=b.  Solving systems of linear equations (n>2) by elimination is a topic unto itself and is the preferred method.  As the system of equations increases, the "condition" of a matrix becomes extremely important.  Some of this may sound completely alien to you.  Don't worry about these topics until Linear Algebra when systems of linear equations (Rank 'n')  become larger than 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just to add a bit more information, "Elimination" Can have a variety of other interpretations.  Elimination techniques typically refer to 'row reduction' to achieve 'row echelon form.'  Do not worry if you have not heard of these terms.  They are used in Linear Algebra when referring to "Elimination techniques"

 

Gaussian Elimination

Gauss-Jordan Elimination

LU-Decomposition

QR-Decomposition

 

These techniques for elimination are preferred for 3rd order systems and higher.  They use "Row-Reduction" techniques/pivoting and many subtle math tricks to reduce a matrix to either a solvable form or perhaps provide an inverse of a matrix (A-1)of linear equation AX=b.  Solving systems of linear equations (n>2) by elimination is a topic unto itself and is the preferred method.  As the system of equations increases, the "condition" of a matrix becomes extremely important.  Some of this may sound completely alien to you.  Don't worry about these topics until Linear Algebra when systems of linear equations (Rank 'n')  become larger than 2.

 

Substitution is the preferred method for 2 equations in 2 unknowns.  The constants are unimportant other than having a non-zero determinant.  It is always easy to find multiplicative factors using LCMs of one variable or the other to allow substitution into the other equation:

 

Example:

 

4X + 5Y = 9

5X -  4Y = 1

 

Notice that 20 is a LCM of either the X or Y variable.  So multiply the first by 4 and the second by 5 and then adding the two (Y's will drop out allowing for substitution)

 

4(4X + 5Y = 9)

5(5X -  4Y = 1)  

 

Multiplying to produce the LCM factors:

 

16X + 20Y = 36

25X -  20Y = 5

 

Adding the equations

 

41X = 41

X = 1

 

Substitution into either equation yields

Y = 1

 

Elimination techniques are preferred for Rank-n>3

Maria cut 3/4 yard of ribbon into pieces that are 1/8 yard long. How many pieces of ribbon did Maria cut? don't be a b.*.t.c.h.
Akimi4 [234]
<h3>Answer:  6 pieces</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

3/4 = 6/8 after multiplying top and bottom of the fraction by 2

She has 6/8 of a yard of ribbon.

If she cuts the ribbon into pieces of 1/8 of a yard each, then she has 6 pieces overall

We can see this if we solve the equation (1/8)x = 6/8. Multiply both sides by 8 to get x = 6.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: $90

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 60% of 150, you can simply use this equation, 60 X 150 divided by 100. That will leave you with 90, which is the amount he paid for the shoes. :)
