Change the ratios to decimals and compare:
7 / 12 = 0.583
7 / 8 = 0.875
So 7:12 is less than 7/8
The answer is <
The following is also equivalent to 2 1/3:
2.33
7/3
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
To find the mean, you add all the elements together, then divide by the number of elements.
Like this:
(45+48+49+40+53)/5=47
in other words the correct answer is 47 inches.
EDIT: Did the foolish mistake, of using the wrong numbers the first time. Fixed now and the answer is correct.
<span>prime factors are prime numbers that can be multiplied to give the number.
to find the prime factors the number is divided by the prime numbers by which the number is divisible.
24 / 3 = 8
8 / 2 = 4
4 / 2 = 2
2 / 2 = 1
24 is divisible by 3 , 2 , 2 and 2.
therefore 24 written as a product of its prime factors is 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3</span>
