Hello there!

"Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer"


To make this easier, we will make it so that both fractions in each pair has like bases.

To make 3/5 and 1/2 have a like base, we must make the denominators 10. To do this, we will do the following:

(3*2)/(5*2) = 6/10

(1*5)/(2*5) = 5/10

Now we can easily compare and not worry about the denominator

So, let's just look at the numerators. 

Which is greater, 5 or 6? We know 6 is greater, so:

6/10 > 5/10

That means:

3/5 > 1/2

Now, we must do the same for 2/6 and 1/2

We will make them both 6. So, we can leave 2/6 alone

2/6

(1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6

Now we have 2/6 and 3/6

Which is greater, 3 or 2. The answer to that is 2. So:

3/6 > 2/6

This means that 1/2 > 2/6


Our answers are:

1. 3/6 > 2/6

2. 1/2 > 2/6


I hope I was able to help you!

tatuchka [14]

Answer: She combined unlike terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only combine like terms. If a number has a variable, you must make sure that the number you're operating it with has the same variable raised to the same power (if applicable)

6.8w-4.7 is in its simplest form.

To be able to subtract these, 4.7 must have a ''w'' variable as follows;

6.8w-4.7w=2.1w
