Hello there! Your answer would be: B. 3/4!

To solve this equation, you need to simplify the other fractions to start:

12/24 = 1/2

3/4 = 3/4

15/24 = 5/8

4/12 = 1/3

Looking at our options, we can straight away eliminate A and D. This is because 5/8 is greater then 4/8 (and 4/8 = 1/2), and 1/3 and 1/2 are both equal to and below 1/2.

Now, we have 5/8 and 3/4. Since the question is asking which is greater, we can eliminate 5/8, since it has the same value.

Now we have 3/4 left, which is your correct answer, but if you wanted to check it you could always multiply the numerator and denominator by 2/2. you get 6/8, which is in fact greater than 5/8.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

For problem 2, you are correct in stating that a curve forms. Specifically, if we were to trace along the outer edge of the shape, then we'd form a parabola that has been tilted 45 degrees compared to the more familiar form that students are taught (where the axis of symmetry is vertical).

For more information, search out "Tangent method for parabolas". As the name implies, the tangent method draws out the tangents of the parabola which helps form the parabola itself.

Everything else on your paper is correct. You have problem 1 correct, and the table is filled out perfectly. Nice work.
