If a<span> is less than </span>b<span>, and they are both positive, then </span>a<span> is closer to 0 than </span>b<span>. The opposite of </span>a<span> is also closer to zero than the opposite of </span>b<span>, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of </span>b. T<span>he number further left on a number line is the smaller number, for positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller.</span>

jamal completed his math homework in 2/3 of an hour and his reading homework in 3/5 of an hour. How much time did it take him to
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.

First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.

The LCM between those numbers are 15.

Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.

2 * 5 = 10

3 * 5 = 15

Next we find out what number to multiply 5 by to get 15, we multiply it by 3.

3 * 3 = 9

5 * 3 = 15

10/15+9/15=19/15

We are left off with 1 4/15

So it took him 1 hour and 4/15 minutes to do his homework.
