Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To find out what fraction is greater, notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators.

When fractions have different denominators, they're called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 2 and 12 which is 12.

To get a 12 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 6 which gives us 6/12.

Notice that 1/12 already has a 12 in the denominator so now we are comparing like fractions since both of them has a 12 in the denominator.

To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Since 6 is greater than 1, this means that 6/12 is greater than 1/12.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/12.

Me zachary brings 264 ounces of water to basketball practice for the players to drink . Ifmr zachary didvides the water equally

Mila [183]

Answer:

3 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Me Zachary brings 264 ounces of water to basketball practice for the players to drink. Mr Zachary divides the water equally among the 9 players. We are asked to find the amount of water that is left over.

To find the amount of water that is left over, we will take out the largest multiple of 9 from 264.

Let us divide 264 by 9.

9) 264(29

18

81

We can see that remainder in 3, therefore, 3 ounces of water will be left over.

ABC and EDC are straight lines. EA is parallel to DB. EC = 8.1 cm. DC = 5.4 cm. DB = 2.6 cm. (a) Work out the length of AE. cm (

harkovskaia [24]

By applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. $\mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\$

b. $\mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\$

See the image in the attachment for the referred diagram.

The two triangles, triangle AEC and triangle BDC are similar triangles.
Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles AEC and BDC will be the same.

This implies that:
