Lets think of it this way:-

1/2 is one half

Whats half of 12? 6 

Now, 7 is greater than 6, which means the fraction 7/12 is greater than 1/2

To check that 7/12 is greater than 1/2 we will convert them to decimal.
To convert fraction to decimal we have to divide them.
7/12 = 0.58 = ~0.6 ( rounded to tenth )
1/2 = 0.5

So now we know that 0.6 is greater than 0.5
therefore, 7/12 is BIGGER than 1/2

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 40 it. The length is 2 ft more than the width. Find the length and the width of the gar
alexgriva [62]

Answer: Length = 11

              Width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the unknown length.

Let x - 2 represent the unknown width.

The perimeter is equal to 2 times x + (x -2)

Equation:

2 (x + (x - 2)) = 40

x + (x - 2) = 40/2

x + x - 2 = 20

2x - 2 = 20

2x -2 + 2 = 20 + 2

The length is: 2x = 22 -> x = 22/2 -> x = 11

The width is: x - 2 = 9

180 product of a prime factor using indices
zvonat [6]
Start with 180. 
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>

<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>

<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>

<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>

<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>

<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>

<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
