Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
6(x-17) it is disturbing 6
it is 6x-102 or 6x-6.17
so the answer is C
3/12 ; 1/6 ; 1/3
Adam must first get the least common multiple of each denominator.
12 : 12, 24, 36
6 : 6, 12, 18
3 : 3, 6, 9, 12
12 is the least common denominator.
We, then, multiply each denominator by a number that will produce 12.
12 x 1 = 12
6 x 2 = 12
3 x 4 = 12
Each number multiplied to the denominator must be the number used to multiply each numerator.
3/12 * 1/1 = 3/12
1/6 * 2/2 = 2/12
1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12
Since they now share a common denominator, the numerator will become the basis of the fraction's value. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction's value.
Fractions in order from least to greatest = 2/12 ; 3/12 ; 4/12
Substitute each fraction with its original fraction:
2/12 ⇒ 1/6 : least
3/12 ⇒ 3/12 : middle
4/12 ⇒ 1/3 : greatest
