Which fraction is bigger 2/6 or 2/4

1 answer:

3 0

2/4 is the larger fraction. Think of a candy bar that is cut into 4 equal pieces. Now think of the same sized candy bar cut into 6 pieces. The candy bar that has been cut into sixths has more pieces but they are smaller pieces that the candy bar cut into fourths. **When comparing fractions, if the numerators are the same (like they are in this problem) look at the denominators. Whichever fraction has the greater number is actually going to be the smaller fraction (more pieces, but smaller pieces). If the denominators are the same, then the fraction that has the greater number in the numerator will be the larger fraction (more same-sized pieces than the other fraction) Hope that helps!

1) y=mx+b (solve for b)<br>2) t=an+b (solve for n)

astra-53 [7]

The equation is already solved for the variable t To solve for any other variable simply rearrange theequation to have the indicated variable on one sideof the equals sign and everything else on the other. For example, to solve for a: t=an+b subtract b from both sidest-b = an divide both sides by n(t-b)/n = a Or: a = (t-b)/n Work in the same manner to solve for either b or n: b = t-an n = (t-b)/a

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,0) and has a slope<br> of -2

N76 [4]

Answer: y=-2x+8

Step-by-step explanation: Write a table of values where for every x y goes down 2 to find the y intercept (0,8) so it would be 8. The slope is -2 and that is all you need to write the equation.
