What is bigger 2/4 or 1/8

Mathematics
2 answers:
suter [353]3 years ago

I think that 2/4 would be bigger because 2/4 is the same as 1/2 and 1/2 is bigger than 1/8. Imagine a pizza, if i have 1/2 of a whole pizza i would have more pizza than a friend who had 1/8 of the whole pizza.

I hope this helps :)

If you simplify 2/4, you will get 1/2. 1/2 is bigger than 1/8.

Proof:

Draw 2 mental circles in your head. then draw lines that will make the circles out of 2 and out of 8. Now color in 1/2 of the first circle and 1/8 of the second circle. You can see that the 1/2 is bigger than the 1/8.

Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong ouo.

A point lies in quadrant 2. If it is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, which quadrant will the point come to rest?
NeTakaya
A point (a, b) in the second Quadrant, is any point where a is negative and b is positive.

For example (-3, 5), (-189, 14) etc are all points in the 2.Quadrant

Rotating a point P(x, y) in the second Quadrant 180° counterclockwise, means rotating 180° counterclockwise about the origin, which maps point P to P'(-a, -b) in the fourth Quadrant.

Can a triangle be formed with 4cm 8cm and 12cm
worty [1.4K]
No. 4^2 + 8^2 or 16 + 64 is 80, and the hypotenuse, 12 (144) is not 80.

Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.

In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.

===================================================

Explanation:

You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.

w = width

2w = twice the width

2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length

So,

  • width = w
  • length = 2w-5

which lead to

area = length*width

area = (2w-5)*w

area = 2w^2-5w

area < 150

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0

To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0

Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-150)}}{2(2)}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm\sqrt{1225}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5\pm35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{5+35}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{5-35}{4}\\\\w = \frac{40}{4} \ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-30}{4}\\\\w = 10 \ \text{ or } \ w = -7.5\\\\

Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.

The only practical root is w = 10.

If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.

----------------------

Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.

Let's say we try w = 5.

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150

25 < 150 ... which is true

This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.

Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15

2w^2 - 5w < 150

2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150

375 < 150 ... which is false

It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150  being false.

Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.
