How about we put the fractions into decimals?

1/2 is 0.5
2/3 is 0.66666(6)

So we need to find something that is between them.

the denominator can't be 2, because bigger than 1/2 is 2/2, which is 1 and is bigger than 0.6

it also  can't be 3, because smaller than 2/3 is 1/2, which is 0.333... and is smaller than 0.5.

Can it be 4? we can't have 2/4 (it's the same as 1/2), or 3/4, it's 0.75, and it's bigger than 0.666...


how about 5?

2/5=0.4,no, too small

3/5=0.6- perfect! that's the answer!

<span>the difference between mongoloid, negroid, and caucasoid people 

Basically, race refers to people's bodies - someone adopted into another family is not changing their race.

Paladinen [302]

Hobbes was a supporter of absolute monarchy, which gave a single person total power over the government and exempted the king from all checks and balances. On the other side, Locke endorsed a more liberal strategy for creating states.

What do the John Locke and Thomas Hobbes theories of the social contract have in common?

Both Locke and Hobbes saw the social compact as being crucial to the political stability of a state. But each of these ideas was based on a very different understanding of human nature.

Why was Locke's viewpoint so much different than Hobbes?

The natural rules revealed by Locke exist in the state of nature, in opposition to Hobbes. Additionally, they are regarded as fundamental aspects of human nature since they violate people's right to personal freedom. A state of conflict is not the same as a state of nature.
