The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.
2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45
Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
It is 25 percent because 6 goes into 24 4 times
(2y² + 7y + 11) - (8y² - 5y + 7) you can distribute the negative sign to the second expression and then combine the like terms
new expression: (2y² + 7y + 11) (-8y² + 5y - 7)
2y² and -8y² equals -6y²
7y and 5y equals 12y
11 and -7 equals 4
The answer is -6y² + 12y + 4
