Step-by-step explanation:
If y is largest number, you want y, and the two next smaller even integers smaller than y - i.e. y, y-2, and y-4
The sum of these is y + (y-2) + (y-4).
This simplifies to 3y - 6 or 3(y - 2)
Since we don’t know what y is, this is as far as we can solve the problem.
Answer:
2/3<9/10; I used 3/4 as a benchmark.
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3<1/2; I used 1/2 as a benchmark.
2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667
1/2 = 0.(10/2) = 0.5
So this is wrong, as 0.667 > 0.5.
1/2=3/5; I used 1/4 as a benchmark.
1/2 = 0.(10/2) = 0.5
3/5 = 0.(30/5) = 0.6
0.5 != 0.6, so this is wrong.
2/3<9/10; I used 3/4 as a benchmark.
2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667
9/10 = 0.(90/10) = 0.9
So this is correct, as 0.667 < 0.9
3/4<2/3; I used 1/2 as a benchmark.
3/4 = 0.(30/4) = 0.75
2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667
0.75 > 0.667, so this is wrong.
The number of purple marbles in the bag are; 201 purple marbles
<h3>How to work out fraction of bar model?</h3>
We are told that Two-fifths of the marbles are green, and the rest are purple.
A) The image attached shows the bar model where the shaded parts denote the purple marble while the unshaded parts denote the green marbles.
B) We are told that there are 134 green marbles.
If the total number of marbles are x. Then;
(2/5)x = 134
x = 134 * 5/2
x = 335 marbles
Thus;
Purple Marbles = (3/5) * 335 = 201 purple marbles

Answer:
c and d
Step-by-step explanation:
i think
16. LCD: 48 because 1/4= 12/48, 1/12=4/48, 11/16= 33/48 and they all share 48 as the denominator
17. LCD: 168 because 5/56= 15/168, 7/24= 49/168, 7/12= 98/168, 5/42= 20/168
18. LCD: 30 because 2/1= 60/30, 1/5= 6/30, 1/10= 3/30, 5/6= 25/30
