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

Determine the equation of the circle with centre (-3;5) and passing through a point (2;-9)
UNO [17]

Therefore, the equation of circle is: (x+3)^{2}+(y+5)^{2} = 100

<h3><u>What is a circle?</u></h3>
  • All points in a plane that are at a specific distance from a specific point, the center, form a circle. In other words, it is the curve that a moving point in a plane draws to keep its distance from a specific point constant.
  • The radius of a circle is the separation between any point on the circle and its center.
  • The radius must typically be a positive integer. Except when otherwise specified, this article discusses circles in Euclidean geometry, namely the Euclidean plane.
  • A circle, specifically, is a straightforward closed curve that separates the plane into its inner and exterior.

Here we know that(h,k) = (-3,5)but we are not given the radius.

However, we can find the radius by using the distance formula.

\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }, where x=x_{1} -x_{2} and y=y_{1} -y_{2}

Putting the values, we get:

\sqrt{8^{2} +6^{2} }

The radius comes out to be:

r=10

An equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is

(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}

Now, substituting the values, we get:

(x--3)^{2} +(y-5)^{2} = 10^{2}

Therefore, the equation of circle is:

(x+3)^{2}+(y+5)^{2} = 100
