Heyo Kiddo. How are you doing today? Let's figure this out!

So, we should covert each fraction so that they have a common denominator.
Observe.

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{20} 

$
$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{20}$

So which one is larger?
We can see that indefinitely 2/5 = 8/20 is the larger of the two fraction given.

You're welcome.

This is easier if we change these fractions into decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/5 = 0.40

It is obvious from the decimals that 2/5 is bigger.

Good Luck! <3

The height would be 36 because you have to divide 144 by 4

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
