3/5 is bigger because it has bigger numbers than 1/3
GuDViN [60]3 years ago

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.

Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.

To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.

9/15   -   5/15

Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.

This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.

How can you use similar triangles to solve problems?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

you can use similar triangle to make known degrees in problems to make then easier to solve. With similar triangle, the angles are the same, but the scale is different. So by using this, one can solve both at the same time, and just just scale up the smaller one or scale down the larger, by the given/found scale.

Help me plzzzzzzzzz<br> solve for x
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

7) \frac{x+20}{x}=\frac{46}{30}

30(x+20)=46x

30x+600=46x

46x-30x=600

16x=600

x=75/2

x=37.5

---------------------

8) \frac{10}{3x+1} =\frac{22}{7x-1}

10(7x-1)=22(3x+1)

70x-10=66x+22

70x-66x=22+10

4x=32

x=\frac{32}{4}

x=8

<u>---------------------</u>

hope it helps...

have a great day!!
