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.

1. Subtract. 9 1/3-1 2/3 = ? Explain how you got the answer.
AleksAgata [21]
My answer is 8 5/9
First, you have to multiply the denominators to get your least common denominator.
Second, you have to multiply the numerators and the denominators together to get two different fractions with the same denominator. You should get 9 3/9 and 1 6/9.

Your answer should be 8 5/9

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.<br> 2x-y=3<br> x+5y=14
adoni [48]
Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1

Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2

Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3

• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2

(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14

6y = 14 – 3/2

6y = 25/2

y = 25/12

• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3

x = (25/12 + 3/2)

x = 43/12
