Answer:

5/12 > 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

to see which is bigger, find the LCD of both fractions and whichever has the biggest numerator is the larger fraction.

the LCD of 5/12 and 3/8 is 24.

to get a denominator of 24 for 5/12 we would multiply the fraction by 2, which gives us 10/24

to get a denominator of 24 for 3/8 we would multiply the fraction by 3, which gives us 9/24.

10/24 > 9/24

looking back at the original fractions, 5/12 is the largest fraction

as the earth revolves around the sun it travels at a speed of 18 miles per second. covert this speed to miles per minute at this

morpeh [17]

If we have the speed of 18 miles per second, 18miles/s
to find out what is the speed in 1 minute we will need to multiply 18 by 60, as there are 60 seconds in 1 minute
18 miles..............................1 second
?miles..................................60 seconds(1min)
18*60=1080 miles
we have 1080 miles/minute
in 2 minutes we have 1080*2=2160 miles
hope it helps
