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.

The greatest common factor will be (x² – xy + y²).

<h3>Greatest common factor</h3>

This is a value or expression that can divide the given expressions without leaving a remainder.

Given the following expressions

x^3+^3 and x^2 - xy + y^2

Expand x^3+y^3

x^3+y^3 =(x + y)(x² – xy + y²).

Since (x² – xy + y²) is common to both expression, hence the greatest common factor will be (x² – xy + y²).

Find the area of the trapazoid for me please :)

Doss [256]

Answer:

A = 14 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is found by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) *h where b is the length of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2 (2+5) *4

A = 1/2(7)4

A = 14 m^2

Kai bought 120 shares of stock for $68.24 per share. He sold them nine months later for $85.89 per share. What was his capital g

nevsk [136]

Answer:

2118 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

His capital gain is the difference in the (sell - buy) prices multiplied by the number of shares (120).

120 * (85.89 - 68.24) = 120 * 17.65 = 2118

The capital gain is a short term gain (held under a year)

The amount is 2118 dollars.

Renee has a triangular garden with an area of 24 square feet. Which drawing shows Renee's garden?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The picture that represent her drawing is uploaded below. The height is 8 ft and the base is 6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renee garden is triangular in shape . The area of the triangular garden is given as 24 ft² . The area of a triangle can be represented below.

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

where

b = base

h = height

The drawing that represent Renee drawing is given below. The height is 8 ft and the base is 6 ft .

Using the formula

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × 6 × 8

Area of a triangle = 48/2

Area of a triangle = 24 ft²

Which point lies on the line with point-slope equation y-2=5(x-6)

Leviafan [203]

The numbers inside the brackets determine which point lies on the line.

The general formula is

y - h = m(x - k)

The point that lies on the line however is (h,k) both turn to the opposite sign.

So in your case the point is (6,2). I have made a graph to show you that this is true. No other point is possible.
