Why is 6/8 greater than 5/8 but less than 7/8?

Think about it like this- 6 is greater than 5 but less than 7. This trick works because all the fractions have the same denominational number.

6/8=0.75
5/8=0.625
7/8=0.875
Since 7/8 is closer to 8/8(1) therefore it is the largest among the three. And since 5/8 is the furthest from 8/8 (1) therefore it is behind 6/8. Therefore 5/8<6/8<7/8

Answer:

√629 ≈ 25.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for this.

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((-12 -13)² +(6 -8)²) = √(625 +4) = √629 ≈ 25.08

The distance between the points is about 25.08 units.

7. You are finding the area of the box. Not the cube, just a surface. Length times width of the surface. Eliminate other numbers and multiply

24.5×19.5

then

26×24.5

8. You are doing the same thing almost. Word problems are scary, but look for the numbers.

4inch ×8inch × 12inch

Find the volume
Multiply the volume by 3, that'd one answer
Devide the ORIGINAL volume by 2. don't divide the volume you multiplied by 3.
