Explain how you can find whether 5/6 or 5/8 is greater

You make the denominators the same. The LCM of 6 and 8 is 48, so we are going to make the denominators 48.
6 x 8 = 48
8 x 6 = 48
So now we have 5/48 and 5/48. But because we changed the denominators, we need to change the nominators accordingly.
So for 5/48 (originally 5/6) we multiply 5 by 8, and for 5/48 (originally 5/8) we multiply 5 by 6.
5 x 8 = 40
5 x 6 = 30
So now we have 40/48 (originally 5/6) and 30/48 (originally 5/8).
5/6 is greater than 5/8

Hope this helps!

2x + 3 =-7 <br> Match equation to its solution
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

X= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. You must move all constants to one side of the equation (one side of the equal sign) and away from 2x. To do so, you must do the inverse operation, which would be subtraction in this case because 3 is a positive number. (Inverse of addition is subtraction, Inverse of subtraction is addition, Inverse of multiplication is division, and inverse of division is multiplication) If you squish a constant and variable together (2x) it means multiplication.
  2. What you must do to one side, you must do to the other. So, since you subtracted 3 from the 3, you must subtract 3 from -7, too(subtracting from a negative is just addition- but you keep the negative sign). Once this is done, your equation will be 2x=-10
  3. Now, you must do the inverse operation to 2x to separate the 2. The inverse operation will be division. So, you divide both sides by 2. 2x divided by 2 will give you x. -10 divided by 2 will give you -5. (When you divided negative and positive numbers, the signs are different, meaning it's negative. If they had the same sign, it would be positive.)
  4. Therefore, your answer is x= -5

Hope I helped! :)

Breifly describe the rules of multiplying and dividing integers
Ivan

Answer:

Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive. When you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative. When you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive.

Find the measure of arc FV
stepladder [879]

Answer:

FV = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

VG => 65 × 2 = 130

FH major arc=> 119 × 2 =  238

<u>FH major arc -  GH = FG</u>

FG => 238 - 168 = 70

<u>VG - FG major arc = FV</u>

FV => 130 - 70 = 60
