We know that 5/6 is way more than 1/2 so we will be safe is we chose a fraction that has a denominator of 8 and is half or less

4/8, 3/8,2/8 and 1/8 are all safe bets and are less than 5/6
so is 5/8 because there is a rule that says is two fractions have the same numerator, the one with the smaller denominator is larger   5/6 > 5/8
Even 6/8 is smaller.  If you change it to a decimal 6/8 = 3/4 = .75  5/6 = .8333....
.833..> .75 so we have lots of fractions we can write:
1/8,  2/8,  3/8,   4/8  5/8 and 6/8

<span>7/8 </span>is not<span> because of different rule.  If the numerators and denominator of two fractions are the same distance apart the larger pair is greater.</span>
<span>Notice in 7/8, the 8 is one more than 7    and in 5/6, the 6 is one more than 5  (notice that the smaller number in each pair was in the numerator).  7/8>5/6</span>

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

A base is the number of digits in a number system. For example in the decimal number system we use the 10 digits ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ). So it has the base 10.

What is the probability that it is not blue?
Alisiya [41]
1/3 chances the bubblegum is blue. To solve this problem you add all of the bubblegum together so 25+20+15 to get 60 then express it as a fraction to show only the blue pieces which would be 20/60 and you can simplify it to 1/3 or 33.33%

Suppose that x and y vary inversely and that y = 5 when x = 1. What is y when x = 15?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Y=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

X=k/y

So let's make k the subject of formula

k=xy

x=1,y=5

So let's substitute

k=1×5

k=5

So we are to determine the value for y when x is 15

So let's solve

Y=k/x

Y=5/15

Y=1/3

Y=0.333333~0.3
