<h3>Answer: Choice B) 1/8 and 1/4 are not equivalent</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to check to see if two fractions are equal.

---------

Method 1) Cross multiplication

3/6 = 2/4

3*4 = 6*2

12 = 12

The last equation is true, so the first equation is true. This shows 3/6 and 2/4 are the same fraction

1/8 = 1/4

1*4 = 8*1

4 = 8

The last equation is false, so 1/8 = 1/4 is false. We found our answer.

1/3 = 2/6

1*6 = 3*2

6 = 6

This equation is true. So we can move on

1/4 = 3/12

1*12 = 4*3

12 = 12

A similar story happens with A and C.

---------

Method 2) Comparing decimal forms

Using a calculator, we can find the decimal form of any fraction

3/6 = 0.5 and 2/4 = 0.5; since we get the same decimal value both times, this means 3/6 = 2/4 is a true statement. Choice A is ruled out.

1/8 = 0.125 and 1/4 = 0.25; we get different decimal values, so we can see that choice B is the answer

1/3 = 0.333.... (the 3s go on forever) and 2/6 = 0.333... we have the same story as choice A, so we can rule out choice C.

1/4 = 0.25 and 3/12 = 0.25, same story as A and C. We can rule out choice D.

There were 3 apple, 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probabilit
goldenfox [79]

There are  10  juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2  of them are grape.

The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is

                                         2 / 10 .

If that try is successful, then there are  9  boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.

If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is

                                        1 / 9 .

The probability of both events happening in two tries is

                           (2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45  =  (2 and 2/9) percent .

Area of the shaded segment=
garik1379 [7]

The area of the entire sector is (\pi)(6^{2}) \left(\frac{60}{360} \right)=6\pi

The area of the triangle OAB is \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(6^{2})=9\sqrt{3}.

So, the area of the segment is \boxed{6\pi-9\sqrt{3}}
