Which do you think will have a greater value, 1/8 of one pound gold or 1/4 of lead? Why?

1 answer:

4 0

if you multiply 1/8 by 4, the fraction become 4/32, and if you multiply 1/4 by 8 you get 8/32.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can find which fraction has the greater value. Since 1/4(8/32) has a greater numerator, the 1 pound of lead will have a larger value.

Enter the solutions from least to greatest. (3x -6)(-x +3)=0

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

x = 2, 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation equals 0, we can determine that:

3x-6=0

-x+3=0

Let's solve 3x-6=0.

Add 6 to both sides of the equation:

3x=6

Divide both sides by 3:

x=2

Let's solve -x+3=0.

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

-x=-3

Divide by -1:

x=3
