Who has more 3/8 or 2/3?

Mathematics

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! :)

A new car battery is sold with a two-year warranty whereby the owner gets the battery replaced free of cost if it breaks down du
Mariana [72]

Answer:

4.01% probability that the battery will break down during the warranty period

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 45, \sigma = 12

a. What is the probability that the battery will break down during the warranty period

Warranty of 2 years = 24 months. So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 24.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24 - 45}{12}

Z = -1.75

Z = -1.75 has a pvalue of 0.0401

4.01% probability that the battery will break down during the warranty period
