Answer:

Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I encourage you to grab a calculator and see for yourself

Put in the function: 4/5 into a standard calculator. You will see that it will come out to .8

Put in the function: 3/5 into a standard calculator. You will see that it will come out to .6

.6 is less than .8, just as 3/5 is less than 4/5.

Another analogy that can be used is seeing the fraction as a real-life object.

Let's say that you make two pies. You cut the pie evenly into five slices. You set them on the table and leave them for whoever wants to eat them. You see that Pie 1 has two slices missing (3/5) and that Pie 2 has one slice missing. (4/5)

3 out of 5 slices are left of Pie 1.

4 out of 5 slices are left of Pie 2.

Pie 1 has less than Pie 2 does.

Hope this has helped!

Help with Area of a sector

Maurinko [17]

Area 1 = 175.84
area 2 = 156.30

area 1: A=(pi)r^2 x 140/360
in this case we would use the degree of the entire circle and the degree of the sector since it is not given.

area 2: A=(pi)r^2 x 280/360
in this case we would use the degree of the entire circle and the degree of the sector since it is not given.
