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

Mathematics
1 answer:

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!

32. The length of each side of a square wooden box, in inches, is represented by the expression
dedylja [7]

the length of the box is represented by (8m2)

does that mean 8m^2?

in English that would be 8 times m^2 or 8 * m * m.

if that is true, then the volume of the box would be equal to (8*m^2)^3 which is equal to 8^3 * m^6 which is then simplified further to 512 * m^6 which can also be written as 512m^6.

if we assume that m is 3, then the side of the box is equal to 8 * 9 which is equal to 72 and that is cubed to get 373248.

working that out algebraically, it would look like this:

(8*3^2)^3 equals 8^3 * (3^2)^3 which is equal to 8^3 * 3^6 which is equal to 512 * 729 which is equal to 373248

Solve the following system of equation. <br> 8x + 5y = 20<br> 7x+4y=19<br> x=<br> y=

Step by Step Solution

System of Linear Equations entered :

[1] 3x - y = 19
[2] 8x - 5y = 20
Graphic Representation of the Equations :

y + 3x = 19 -5y + 8x = 20



Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y


[1] y = 3x - 19

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] 8x - 5•(3x-19) = 20
[2] -7x = -75
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x


[2] 7x = 75

[2] x = 75/7
// By now we know this much :

x = 75/7
y = 3x-19
// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 3(75/7)-19 = 92/7
Solution :
{x,y} = {75/7,92/7}

Mr. Clements painted his barn for 3 3/5 hours in the morning. He painted the barn for 5 3/4 hours in the afternoon. For 15a-15cn
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A common denominator of the mixed numbers is 20. select True or false

Mr. Clements painted his barn for 3 3/5 hours in the morning.

3\frac{3}{5}=\frac{18}{5}

He painted the barn for 5 3/4 hours in the afternoon.

5\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}

Now we consider the denominator of both fractions 18/5 and 23/4

Least common denominator is 5  times 4 = 20

So its true that the common denominator of mixed numbers is 20
