Answer:

1/8 is the bigger fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

When comparing fractions with different denominators, and the numerator is one, like 1/8. The one with the smaller number for the denominator is greater.

You could also compare them by finding common denominators, so for 1/8 and 1/9, a common denominator would be /63. So you would take $\frac{1}{8}$ and multiply that by $\frac{9}{9}$ . You would then get $\frac{9}{63}$ . When you take $\frac{1}{9}$ times $\frac{8}{8}$ you get $\frac{8}{63}$ . So when comparing you can see that 1/8 is greater than 1/9.

Find the measure of an angle between 0º and 360º coterminal with an angle of –110º in standard position

<h2>Answer:</h2>

An angle measures how how much you have to rotate one line called <em>initial side</em> so it lies on the top of other line called the <em>terminal side. </em>Angles whose vertex is located at the origin having the initial side on the positive x-axis is said to be in standard position. On the other hand, coterminal angles are angles in standard position having the same terminal side. In this way, for the angle:

$-110^{\circ} \\ \\ Its \ coterminal \ is: \\ \\ \alpha=360^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=\boxed{250^{\circ}}$
