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!

Simplify <br>(8/14 - 2/8) + 1/7

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

13/28.

Step-by-step explanation:

(8/14 - 2/8) + 1/7

We can just remove the parentheses and simplify its contents:

= 4/7 - 1/4 + 1/7

= 4/7 + 1/7 - 1/4

= 5/7 - 1/4 The LCD of 7 and 4 is 28 so we have:

20/28 - 7/28

= 13/28.

Am I dealing with harmonic stuff (trig)?

pochemuha

You just need to solve for when $y=0$ :

$\dfrac{\cos8t-9\sin8t}4=0\implies\cos8t-9\sin8t=0$

$\implies\cos8t=9\sin8t$

$\implies\dfrac19=\dfrac{\sin8t}{\cos8t}=\tan8t$

$\implies8t=\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+n\pi$

$\implies t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac{n\pi}8$

where $n$ is any integer. We only care about when $0\le t\le1$ , which happens for $n\in\{0,1,2\}$ .

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19\approx0.01$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi8\approx0.41$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi4\approx0.80$

Lines a and b are parallel. The slope of line b is 1/3. What is the slope of line a?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Therefore, if the slope of line b is 1/3, the slope of line a is also 1/3

Given m/n, find the value of x.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

x = 152 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way the 2 angles are positioned indicates that they are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are equal.

x = 152 degrees.

Make you know what corresponding angles are and when they can be used. Make sure you also know what parallel lines are (2 or more lines whose distance is a constant). Make sure you also know what a transversal is (a line that crosses the parallel lines).
