Answer:
5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
A tank is filled with water daily to give water to the animals on a farm. As required, 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses and 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs. The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets. What is the fraction of the water that pets receive to drink?
1) 3/8 of the water was taken from the tank to give to the horses
At this point in the tank there are 1-3/8=5/8 of the water of the tank
2) 1/3 of what was left in the tank was given to the pigs
At this point in the tank there are
(1-1/3)*5/8
(2/3)(5/8)=10/24 of the water of the tank
3) The remainder of the tank was distributed in two equal amounts to give water to the birds and pets
The remainder is equal to 10/24
divided by 2
(10/24)/2=10/48
4) The fraction of the water that pets receive to drink is 10/48
simplify
10/48=5/24
The fraction will continue to be the same numerator "1". However the denominator will be a greater number. Such as 4. Then you will know it is broken into more peices (as being a greater number). These pieces will automatically be a smaller fraction.
So, in order to know if a fraction is less then 1/2, it will have a greater denominator.
hope this helps :)

2y = 3x - 4
y = 2/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel means the lines never cross. These two lines cross. Perpendicular means they cross and form a 90° angle.
Since the bottom number is the same.
Multiply the top and bottom to get the answer 2/9
1*2=2
3*3=9
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
a negative plus a negative is basically just adding and keeping the negative sign. so -2.2+(-2.8)=-5
