I would turn them into decimals or at least have the same denominator. To find the decimal divide the numerator by the denominator.
6/13=8.46
And 5/12= 8.42
Then the person who caught the 8 6/13 red snapper caught the bigger snapper.
The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product:
So, if the product is 8, the geometric mean is 
1. x
2. x + 2
3. x + 4
x + 4 + 2x = 25. Second option is the answer.
Combine like terms
3x + 4 = 25
Subtract 4 from both sides
3x = 21
Divide both sides by 3
x = 7
Answer:
A) Suppose we have an onedimensional situation.
in the 0 of our x-axis, we have a fruit tree, and we want to rest at a distance no bigger than 6 ft of the tree, then all the possible positions of our resting place are:
x ∈(-6ft, 6ft)
we can write this as: IxI < 6ft
b) now we think the opposite situation, we want to rest at least 6ft away from the tree, then we have that:
x ∉ [-6ft, 6ft].
or IxI > 6ft.
So you can see that the difference in those two cases is if we want to be "inside a given range" (for the first case) or "outside a given range" (for the second case).
