First we would change the fractions into decimals and compare them. That way it would be easy to solve when needed.
1/2=0.50
5/8=0.625
1/8=0.125
Now we can see that 1/8 (0.125) is the smallest, followed by 1/2 (0.50), and 5/8 the largest. Now we can match the sizes with the insects.
Since the tiger beetle is the largest we will place that with the length of 5/8 since that is the largest.
The carpenter ant is second largest so it would be matched with 1/2
The aphid is the smallest so that would be with 1/8 as the smallest

Answer:
x = -6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 – 6x = 8x + 17
-5 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides
-6x = 8x + 12
-8x - 8x Subtract 8x from both sides
-14x = 12 Divide both sides by -14
x = -12/14 Simplify
x = -6/7
What do you mean? just the number 80?
Allison ran 3/8 km (0.375 km) in 3 minutes.
Set up a proportion to find how long it takes for her to run 1 km
Cross multiply to get:
Solve:
x = 8 minutes
The answer is: 70 .

Explanation:
_________________________________
(20/100) x = 14; solve for "x".
(20/100) = 2/10 = 1/5 ;
(1/5) x = 14
x/5 = 14 ;
x = 14 * 5 ;
x = 70 . The answer is: 70 .
