Write a fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8

1 answer:

3 0

You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.

If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.

Do you have a calculator? you can solve it by substituting x.

y=16x^2

0: y = 16(0)^2 = 16(0) = 0

(x = 0 , y = 0)

0.5: y = 16(0.5)^2 = 16(0.25) = 4

(x = 0.5 , y = 4)

1: y = 16(1)^2 = 16(1) = 16

(x = 1 , y = 16)

1.5: y = 16(1.5)^2 = 16(2.25) = 36

(x = 1.5 , y = 36)

2: y = 16(2)^2 = 16(4) = 64

(x = 2 , y = 64)

2.5: y = 16(2.5)^2 = 16(6.25) = 100

(x = 2.5 , y = 100)

3 : y = 16(3)^2 = 16(9) = 144

(x = 3 , y = 144)

4: y = 16(4)^2 = 16(16) = 256

(x = 4 , y = 256)

if you multiply a negative number by itself, it will become positive. So, -4, -3, -2.5, -2, -1.5, -1, -0.5 will be the same as the positive 4, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5.

I'm not sure about the pattern, but if you graph it, it'll be symmetrical across the y-axis.
