Draw two boxes. One much larger than another. Draw a line down the middle of the smaller box. This is Julian's brownie. Now, draw a line dividing the large box in half, and repeat this again and again until you get 8 equal pieces. This is Debbie's brownie. Shade in one section of Debbie's brownie and 1 section of Julian's brownie. This should show that \frac{1}{8} of a large brownie is greater than \frac{1}{2} of a small brownie.

Answer:

We can't compare the two quantities as the quantity were of different sizes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a statement as:

Debbie ate 1/8 of a large brownie. Julian ate 1/2 of a small brownie.

Then we are given that:

Julian says, "I ate more brownies than you because 1/2>1/8."

<em>" Julian mistake was that the brownies ate by both of them were of different size so we can't compare them though 1/2 >1/8 but we can compare them only when they were of the same type "</em>

This could also be shown with the help of a picture attach to the answer.

A family has an annual income of ​$25,200. of​ this, 1/4 is spent for​ food, 1/5 for​ housing, 1/10 for​ clothing, 1/9 for​ savi
Firlakuza [10]
To answer the question, you have to multiply $25,200 by 1/4 (portion allocated/ alloted for the tax -
$25,200 * 1/4 = 25,200/4 (then divide 25,200 by 4)
                       = $6,300
Therefore, the family spent $6,300 for taxes from their annual income of $25,200.

A rectangle is 6 units wide and x-8 units long. It has the same area as a triangle with the height of 7 units and a base of x-3
Snowcat [4.5K]
AREA OF A RECTANGLE IS 42 UNITS

Rectangle:                             Triangle: 
A = L * W                             A = hb / 2
A = (x-8) * 6                         A = (7(x-3)) / 2
A = 6x - 48                            A = (7x - 21) / 2

Since the problem states that both rectangle and triangle have the same area.Then:

6x - 48 = (7x - 21) / 2

1) Eliminate the denominator 2 by multiplying both sides by 2.

2 * (6x - 48) = 2 * ((7x - 21) / 2)
12 x - 96 = 7x - 21

Find x. Transfer like numbers and change their signs.

12x - 7x = 96 - 21
5x = 75
5x / 5 = 75 / 5
x = 15

Substitute x by its value:

Rectangle:                            Triangle
A = (x-8) * 6          -                A = (7(x-3)) / 2                      Areas of both Rectangle
A = (15 -8 ) * 6                       A = (7(15-3)) / 2                      and Triangle is the same.
A = 7 * 6                                  A = (7 * 12) / 2
A = 42 units                            A = 84 / 2
                                               A = 42 units
