Why is 6/8 greater than 5/8 but less than 7/8

Mathematics

My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

Simple!

Since we can observe that they all have the same denominators (bottom part) we can just observe the numerator (top part)

6 is indeed greater than 5, yes? So we can safely say that

6/8 > 5/8

Now the for the second part. 

6 is smaller than 7, yes? So we can make the observation that

6/8 < 7/8

Hope that makes sense! (Be sure to thank me, plz)

P.S. If you want an example of unlike denominators, let me know. <span />

- 6 w - 4 + 2 w = 4<br><br> what the answer
patriot [66]
Let's start by combining the values that are similar... we have two values with a w so we can change the equation from

-6w-4+2w=4

to

-4w-4=4

Now, we want to get w alone and in order to do this, we must first make the -4 go away.
<span>The basic rule of doing these problems is to know that anything you do to one side (such as subtract or add a number or divide or multiply by a number) must be done to the other side as well.
</span>
In order to get rid of the -4, we want to add 4, which we will do to both sides

-4w=8

now, in order to get w alone, we must divide by -4 on both sides

w=-2
