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!

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

x+24+100+x=180

x+124+x=180

2x+124=180

2x=180-124

2x=56

divide both side by number attached to the x

therefore x=28

Carolyn is building a pen for a dog. The PERIMETER of the pen is 52 ft. The material is sold by the yard. It is 10.99 dollars pe

Mazyrski [523]

We know that the fence is 52 feet long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from one foot to one yard.
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? 3. So now we know that one foot is 1/3 of a yard.

So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3?
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!

It all cost $190.45
