What is greater 1/3 or 1/8

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

okay so you should know that the formula for a triangle is:

A=1/2×b×h

where b is breadth and h is height

A is area

so they already gave the area which is 16.2 and they already gave a side ( doesn't matter if it's b or h in this question)

so we put these into the equation of the area of a triangle

A=1/2×b×h

16.2=1/2 × 6 × h

then you will solve algebraically to get 5.4cm which is you answer

to check if correct you can always put in all numbers in equation and you should get 16.2cm

In this case it's correct ✌

1. Your average daily balance on your charge card for the month of July is $855.28. If your card carries an annual interest rate

Nat2105 [25]

1. Using "exact" interest, your charge will be
.. I = Prt
.. I = $855.28*0.154*(31/365)
.. I = $11.19

2. It will take 52.01 months to pay off the loan.

3. Your payment on 15,250 for 4 years will be $363.41. The effective interest rate that payment represents on a loan of $15,000 is 7.604%

4. Todd's monthly payments will be $409.06, so his total outlay will be
.. tax+license + down payment + loan repayment
.. = 1200 +1000 +48*409.06
.. ≈ $21,835
