No, 1/3 of 100 would be 33.33 and 1/2 of 100 would be 50 so 1/2 is bigger. :)

In order to figure this out you have to make common denominators
 
What is the smallest multiple (a number that can be divided by another without a remainder) that 3 and 2 have in common?

6 is a multiple they have in common, now make it so that the fractions have 6 as the denominator:

 1   *   2         2
---            =   ---
 3   *   2         6

(*whatever you do to the bottom, do to the top!)

 1   *   3         3
---             =  --- 
 2   *   3         6

Now compare:

 2                                     3
--- is bigger/smaller than ---
 6                                     6

(*Remember, 2/6 is 1/3 and 3/6 is 1/2)

3/6 is bigger so that means 1/3 is smaller than 1/2 not greater

5x + 2(x + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute the 2.

5x + 2x + 2 ≤ 23

Combine like terms.

7x + 2 ≤ 23

Subtract 2 from both sides.

7x ≤ 21

Divide both sides by 7

x ≤ 3

How many quarter pound buyers can george make out of 3 and 1/2 pounds of ground beef?
weeeeeb [17]
Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)
