What is greater 1/3 or 1/8

2 answers:

Ludmilka [50]3 years ago

1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut <em>8 </em>pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually <em>gives </em>you points.

1/3 because u would do 1/3 and 1/8 next to each other 1x3 so 1/8 equals 3 then we do 1x8 and that equals 8 so 1/3 equals 8 then u conpare them 8>3 so 1/3>1/8

Carson buys eggs and lemons at the store. he pays a total of $39.62. he pays $6.74 for the eggs. he buys 8 bags of lemons that e

Nikolay [14]

The algebraic equation is used to determine the costs of each bag of lemons is 8x = $39.62 - $6.74

According to the question,

Cost of 1 bag of lemons = $x

Cost of 8 bags of lemons = 8*x = 8x

Cost of 8 bags of lemons = Total cost - cost of the egg

8x = $39.62 - $6.74

Hence, the algebraic equation is used to determine the costs of each bag of lemons is 8x = $39.62 - $6.74.

What percent of $5 is $3.75?

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula $\frac{is}{of}=\frac{percent}{100}$

"of" is 5
"is" is 3.75
We will denote "percent" as x since that is what we are solving for

Now we just need to plug in the known values and solve for x

$\frac{3.75}{5}=\frac{x}{100}$
Cross multiplying we get (5)(x) = (3.75)(100)
Then simplifying we get 5x = 375
Dividing by 5 we get x = 75%

$3.75 is 75% of $5

I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER ALL OF THESE!! THANK YOU!!

Answer:

<u>1. The number is 71.3</u>

<u>2. The number is 127.1</u>

<u>3. The number is 230</u>

<u>4. The number is 34</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the numbers, x, for each case:

1. 5% of it is 5% of it is 23% of 15.5

5% = 0.05

23% of 15.5 = 0.23 * 15.5 = 3.565

Then, we have:

0.05x = 3.565

x = 3.565/0.05

x = 71.3

<u>The number is 71.3</u>

2. 4% of it is 31% of 16.4

4% = 0.04

31% of 16.4 = 0.31 * 16.4 = 5.084

Then, we have:

0.04x = 5.084

x = 5.084/0.04

x = 127.1

<u>The number is 127.1</u>

3. 4.5% of it is 23% of 45

4.5% = 0.045

23% of 45 = 0.23 * 45 = 10.35

Then, we have:

0.045x = 10.35

x = 10.35/0.045

x = 230

<u>The number is 230</u>

4. 5.5% of it is 17% of 11

5.5% = 0.055

17% of 11 = 0.17 * 11 = 1.87

Then, we have:

0.055x = 1.87

x = 1.87/0.055

x = 34

<u>The number is 34</u>

Find the coordinates of P so that P partitions segment AB in the part-to-whole ratio of 1 to 3 with A(6, -10) and B(9, -1).

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formulas that allow us to find the point that divides the segment into a ratio which is

$x=\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b}$ and $y=\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b}$ where a is 1 (comes from the ratio) and b is 3 (comes from the ratio as well). Filling in:

$x=\frac{3(9)+1(6)}{1+3}=\frac{27+6}{4}=\frac{33}{4}$ and then y:

$y=\frac{3(-1)+1(-10)}{1+3}=\frac{-3-10}{4}=-\frac{13}{4}$ so the coordinates in question are

$(\frac{33}{4},-\frac{13}{4})$
