Is 3/8 more or less than 3/6 please explain

It's less that 3/6 because the bigger the fraction is the smaller it gets. So what I'm trying to imply is ,that the higher the number is in a fraction then the outcome would be smaller.

3/8 is less because its only 3 out of that bigger number and 3/6 is bigger because its less numbers away.

Hope I helped and I hope you have an awesome day!! :)

In autumn a tree starts to shed its leaves. 2/5 of the leaves fall off in the first week. 1/2 of those remaining fall of in the

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

850 leaves were on the tree initially.

Same as;

2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 + (remaining leaves 1/10) = 1

4/10 + 2/10 + 3/10 + 1/10

10 x 85 = 850

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 wk 1 fall off

1/5 wk 2 fell off

3/5 x 1/2 = 3/10 wk 2 stayed on tree

1/3 x 3/10 = 1/10 wk 3 stayed on

2/5 + 1/5 + 3/10 = 9/10 = 0.9 fall off in total

10/10 - 9/10 = 1/10 left on tree

1/10 = 85

10 x 85 = 850 leaves.

Sam used 6 loaves of elf bread on a 8 day hiking trip. He wants to know how many loaves of elf bread he should pack for a 12 day

KonstantinChe [14]

If he eats 6 loaves in 8 days, that means he ate 0.75 of a loaf each day. (6 divided by 8 = 0.75)
In a 12 day trip,
# divided by 12 = 0.75;
so to undo division, you multiply.
12 x 0.75 = #
# = 9. So 9 loaves for 12 days.

Which set of shapes could be used to form a net for a square pyramid?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

A.1 square and 4 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

A pyramid has sides that are triangular faces and a base. In a square pyramid, the base is a square.

The net therefore has 1 Square and 4 Triangles.

A net is given in the attached diagram:

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: $y = 2x -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)$

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6), ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

$y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)$
