To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.
For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?
1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.
It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.
Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.</span><span>

Answer:
3.5 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of one comic book is 3.5.
I got this by dividing 21 and 6
The first book you select can be any one of 700.
. . . For each of those ...
The second book can be any one of the other 699.
. . . For each of those ...
The third book can be any one of the remining 698.
The total number of ways to gather three books from the shelves into your hands is (700 · 699 · 698) = <em>341,531,400 ways</em> .
<em>BUT ...</em>
When you bring three books to the check-out counter, Marian the Librarian doesn't know in which order you took them down off the shelves. You could have gathered the same three books in (3 · 2 · 1) = 6 different ways.
So, even though there are 341,531,400 ways to<em> </em>gather up three books, there are only (341,531,400 / 6) = 56,921,900 different GROUPS of three books that you can choose to take home.
Answer:
Probabilities
Likely to happen (L) Unlikely to happen (U)
a. 4/5 5/8
b. 3/5 3/8
c. 4/5 4/7
d. 0.3 0.09
e. 5/6 and 4/5 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Probabilities in Percentages:
a. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 5/8 = 62.5%
b. The probability of 3/8 = 37.5% and 3/5 = 60%
c. The probability of 4/5 = 80% and 4/7 = 57%
d. The probability of 0.3 = 30% and 0.09 = 9%
e. The probability of 2/3 = 67% and 4/5 = 80% and 5/6 = 83%
b) To determine the relative values of the fractional probabilities, it is best to reduce them to their fractional or percentage terms. When this is done, the relative sizes become obvious, and then, comparisons can be made.
