Why does it take three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of one half

It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.

Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.

So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>

|-------------------|----------------------|

|-----|------|-------|------|-------|-------|

It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of the measures of angle M and R is 90 degrees, and you know that angle R is 55 degrees, subtract angle R from the total angle. Then, solve for M

90 - 55 = 35

5x + 10 = 35

5x = 25

x = 5
