No, because 2/3 has 3 big pieces and 5/6 has 6 small pieces

First you have to find a common denominator which is 6 so you muliply 3x2=6 than you have to do the same to the top 2x2=4 so 2/3= 4/6

So 5/6 ≥ 2/3

The product of two consecutive negative integers is 600. What is the value of the lesser integer?

Misha Larkins [42]

Two consecutive negative integers are n and n+1. We are told that the product of these two integers is 600 so:

n(n+1)=600

n^2+n=600

n^2+n-600=0

n^2+25n-24n-600=0

n(n+25)-24(n+25)=0

(n-24)(n+25)=0, since we are told that n is negative...

n=-25

(...-25(-24)=600 so -25 is the value of the lesser integer)
