Givens

Let the number of students in the class be x

Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x

Equation

3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.

3(x - 1) + 8 = 168      This doesn't work either.

Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.

3x + 8 = 168     Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = 168 - 8      Combine

3x = 160           Divide by 3 on both sides.

x = 160 / 3

x = 53.333333333

Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.

3x

Compare the following fraction <br>4/3 and 5/2<br>-3/2. -4/5​
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to compare them, we need to convert them into like fractions

4/3 and 5/2

lcm of 3 and 2 is 6

4/3 × 2/2 = 8/6

5/2 × 3/3 = 15/6

15/6 is greater than 8/6

<em><u>so 5/2 is greater than 4/3</u></em>

similarly,

-3/2 and -4/5

we need to convert them into like fractions

lcm of 2 and 5 is 10

-3/2 × 5/5 = -15/10

-4/5 × 2/2 = -8/10

-8/10 is greater than -15/10

<u><em>so -4/5 is greater than -3/2</em></u>

Hope this helps

plz mark as brainliest!!!!
