You can read fractions as one number divided by another. So 1/6 is equivalent to 1 divided by 6. It is then selfevident that the larger the denominator the smaller the number. If you have one cake and divide it between 3, 6 or eight people, three people will get a larger slice than 6 people sharing the same cake. And 6 people will get a larger slice than 8 people dividing the same cake.

1/6 is greater because it is more that 1/8 and it is less then 1/3 because 1/3 is 1/3 of a number like .33repeating would be 1/3 1/8 is less than what 1/6 would be

Can anyone someone please help me:((
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Therefore, the standard for will be:

y=\frac{1}{4}x^{2}-x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola written as vertical axes is given by:

(x-h)^{2}=4p(y-k) (1)

The vertex of the parabola (h,k) is (2,-5).

The focus (h,k+p) is (2,-4)

Then we can find p knowing that:

h = 2

k = -5

k + p = -4 then p = -4+5 = 1

Putting all these values in equation (1) we will find the equation of the parabola:

(x-2)^{2}=4(1)(y-(-5))

(x-2)^{2}=4(y+5) (2)

Now, we need to find the standard form of the equation of the parabola.

Let's recall that standard form is:

y=ax^{2}+bx+c  

We just need to work out equation (2) to convert it to the standard form.

(x-2)^{2}=4(y+5)

x^{2}-4x+4=4(y+5)

\frac{1}{4}x^{2}-x+1=y+5

Therefore, the standard for will be:

y=\frac{1}{4}x^{2}-x-4

I hope it helps you!

A student answers
Marina CMI [18]
So, we have the percentage she gets which is, 90% and the number of questions she answers correctly, which is 27

To find the number of questions in the exam, make an equation
(90% = \frac{90}{100} = 0.9)
\frac{90}{100} = \frac{27}{x}
cross multiply and equate them
90x = 27 x 100
90x = 2700
divide by 90 on either sides to isolate x in order to find the answer
\frac{90x}{90} =  \frac{2700}{90}
90 and 90 cancels out
x = 30
So your final answer will be, there were 30 questions in the exam paper.

What is y=-2/3 x + 4 in standard form?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is Ax + By = C, A, B and C must be intergers, cannot be  fractions or decimals

y = -2/3x + 4 First we want to get rid of  the fractions.  There is only one, so if we multiply both sides by 3 that should do it.

3y = -2x + 12 Now make the constant be on one side by itself

2x + 3y = 12
