Who has more 3/8 or 2/3?

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Compare, what fraction is larger? 2/3 vs. 3/8. Fractions sorted in ascending order: 3/8 < 2/3. Ordinary math fractions compared, result explained below

 

Comparing fractions operation:  

2/3 vs. 3/8

Reduce (simplify) fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:

2/3 already reduced to lowest terms, numerator and denominator have no common prime factors, their prime factorization:  

2 is a prime number and 3 is a prime number;

3/8 already reduced to lowest terms, numerator and denominator have no common prime factors, their prime factorization:  

3 is a prime number and 8 = 23;

To sort fractions, build up their numerators the same.

Calculate fractions' numerators LCM (lowest common multiple), it will be the common numerator of the compared fractions:

Numerators' prime factorization:

2 is a prime number;

3 is a prime number;

For LCM, take all the unique prime factors, by the largest exponents:  

LCM (2, 3) = 2 * 3 = 6

Calculate each fraction's expanding number (LCM divided by each fraction's numerator):

For fraction: 2/3 is: 6 ÷ 2 = (2 * 3) ÷ 2 = 3;

For fraction: 3/8 is: 6 ÷ 3 = (2 * 3) ÷ 3 = 2;

Expand the fractions, build up each fraction by multiplying its numerator and denominator by its expanding number, so all the numerators are built up to their LCM, the lowest common multiple:

2/3 = (3 * 2)/(3 * 3) = 6/9;

3/8 = (2 * 3)/(2 * 8) = 6/16;

Fractions have equal numerators, simply compare their denominators.

The larger the denominator the smaller the positive fraction.

::: Comparing operation :::  

Final answer:

 

Fractions sorted in ascending order:  

6/16 < 6/9  

Initial fractions in ascending order:  

3/8 < 2/3

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make each of the denominators the same.

3/8 and 2/3

8 times 3 is 24 and 3 times 8 is 24. So the denominators(the bottom number in the fraction) is both 24.

Since we made the 8 in 3/8 24 by doing 8 times 3 we do the same to the top.

So 3 times 3 is 9. So 9/24. We do the same to 2/24.  2 times 8 is 16. So 16/24/

9/24 < 16/24

So 2/3 is bigger.

Hope that helps! :)

3+(4+5) = ( 3+4 ) +5.THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ---------OF WHOLE
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is clearly addition, so we can rule out B and C. Associative property is the movement of the parentheses, whereas commutative property is the movement or reorganization of the numbers. The parentheses moved in this problem, so it is associative. I suggest reviewing these properites, they come in handy later and are good to know :)

Find the measure of each angle indicated. Round to the nearest tenth.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find<em> θ. </em>We are already given the hypotenuse and the side length opposite to <em>θ. </em>Therefore, we can use the trig function sine to find <em>θ. </em>

Recall that:

\sin(\theta)=opp/hyp

Plug in 10.2 for the opposite side and 15 for the hypotenuse:

\sin(\theta)=10.2/15

Solve for <em>θ. </em>Use a calculator:

\theta=\sin^{-1}(10.2/15)\\\theta\approx42.8436\textdegree

The answer is D.
