Answer:

  8 5/12 > 8 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The integer parts of the numbers are the same, so we can find the desired result by comparing the fractions. To do that, we can subtract one from the other, or we can simply write them both with a common denominator.

<u>Subtracting</u>:

  5/12 -3/8 = (5·8 -12·3)/(12·8) = 4/(12·8) = 1/24 > 0

so we have ...

  5/12 > 3/8

  8 5/12 > 8 3/8

__

<u>Common Denominator</u>:

The denominators of the fractions are 12 and 8. The least common multiple of these numbers is 12·2 = 8·3 = 24. Then the numbers can be written as ...

  8 5/12 = 8 10/24

  8 3/8 = 8 9/24 . . . . . . this is less than 8 10/24

Then the appropriate relation between the numbers is ...

  8 5/12 > 8 3/8

It takes a machine 15 minutes to put
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate rate, divide the number of cans by the time to get "Cans per minute".

300/15min = 20/min

Let m represent minutes and c for cans.

We write an equation for the problem:

c = 20m

We want to know the time for 500 cans, so substitute 500 for c.

500 = 20m

Isolate m and solve:

m = 500/20

m = 25

It will take 25 minutes to put 500 labels.
