Is 1/4 less than or greater than 1/8

To find this answer, you need to find a common denominator. A common denominator is when the number on the bottom of two fractions is the same. The easiest was to do this is to first multiply the two denominators, then multiply the numerator (or top number) by the opposite denominator. This sounds complicated, but it's pretty simple. Here's the equation written out. (I hope this helps!)

4*8 = denominator for both numbers.

8*1 = numerator for the first number

4*1 = numerator for the second number.

This should give you the fractions with common denominators, 8/32 and 4/32. Then, to compare the fractions, just see which numerator is larger. In this case, 8 is larger than 1 which shows that 1/4 is greater than 1/8.

I hope this made sense. There's more than one way to solve these problems, so comment below if you would like me to explain it differently and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!  :)

Greater than because if you find the common denominator, which is 8, you would change the numerator to 2 so...
2/8 is less than or greater than 1/8?
It's greater.
Hope this helped :) the answer before me goes into more depth, I just did a brief answer :)

Justin is constructing a line through point Q that is perpendicular to line n. He has already constructed the arcs shown. He pla
krek1111 [17]
<span>B. It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. This problem would be a lot easier if you had actually supplied the diagram with the "arcs shown". But thankfully, with a few assumptions, the solution can be determined. Usually when constructing a perpendicular to a line through a specified point, you first use a compass centered on the point to strike a couple of arcs on the line on both sides of the point, so that you define two points that are equal distance from the desired intersection point for the perpendicular. Then you increase the radius of the compass and using that setting, construct an arc above the line passing through the area that the perpendicular will go. And you repeat that using the same compass settings on the second arc constructed. This will define a point such that you'll create two right triangles that are reflections of each other. With that in mind, let's look closely at your problem to deduce the information that's missing. "... places his compass on point B ..." Since he's not placing the compass on point Q, that would imply that the two points on the line have already been constructed and that point B is one of those 2 points. So let's look at the available choices and see what makes sense. A .It must be wider than when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Not good. Since this implies that the arc centered on point A has been constructed, then it's a safe assumption that points A and B are the two points defined by the initial pair of arcs constructed that intersect the line and are centered around point Q. If that's the case, then the arc centered around point B must match exactly the setting used for the arc centered on point A. So this is the wrong answer. B It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A. Perfect! Look at the description of creating a perpendicular at the top of this answer. This is the correct answer. C. It must be equal to BQ. Nope. If this were the case, the newly created arc would simply pass through point Q and never intersect the arc centered on point A. So it's wrong. D.It must be equal to AB. Sorta. The setting here would work IF that's also the setting used for the arc centered on A. But that's not guaranteed in the description above and as such, this is wrong.</span>

Write the equation in standard form. Identity the center and radius.<br> x² + y2 + 8x-4y-7=0
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation:</u>

  • x² + y² + 8x - 4y - 7 = 0

<u>Convert this to standard form by completing the square:</u>

  • (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) - center, r - radius
  • x² + 2*4x + 4² + y² - 2*2y + 2² - 16 - 4 - 7 = 0
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² - 27 = 0
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² = 27
  • (x + 4)² + (y - 2)² = (√27)²

The center is (- 4, 2) and the radius is √27
