Would 1/5 be greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

1 answer:

7 0

1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
2/3 = 10/15
So no :)

Reason why:
You want to find the common denominator between all three fractions, so all fractions are the same proportions. So in this case, if you multiply 5*3 you get 15, making it the common denominator. Then since you multiplied the 5 in 1/5 by 3 to get 15, and you have to multiply the 3 in 1/3 and 2/3 by 5 to get 15, then you multiply the numerator by the same number.

Sorry I am terrible at explaining things. Hope this helped though!

What is the y-intercept?<br> y-3=1\2(x+2)

Margaret [11]

Y-3=1/2(x+2)

To find the y-intercept, we must first get the equation in slope intercept form. Start off by distributing 1/2 into the parentheses.

y-3= 1/2x+1
Add 3 to both sides

y= 1/2x+4

The slope is whatever is in front of x, in this case, 1/2. The y-intercept is the number after that which would be 4
