How do you know if 5/9 is bigger then 11/20

Mathematics

There are a few ways.

We can convert both of them to decimals.

\sf\dfrac{5}{9}\rightarrow0.\overline{5}

\sf\dfrac{11}{20}\rightarrow0.55

As you can see, 5/9 has a 5 that goes on forever, and 11/20 has just two 5's, therefore 5/9 is bigger than 11/20.

Another way to do this is to convert both of them to the same denominator.

Just find the least common multiple between 9 and 20, which is 180.

\sf\dfrac{5}{9}\rightarrow\dfrac{5\times20}{9\times20}\rightarrow\dfrac{100}{180}

\sf\dfrac{11}{20}\rightarrow\dfrac{11\times9}{20\times9}\rightarrow\dfrac{99}{180}

Since 100 is greater than 99, 5/9 is greater than 11/20.

Please help!! dont answer if you're not going to explain! need help with my geometry!
FinnZ [79.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement:

2-) ∠BAC = ∠EDC

<em>Reason:</em>

Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal (Alternate Interior Angles Theorem)

Statement:

3-) AC = CD

<em>Reason:</em>

CPCTC ("Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent")

Statement:

4-) ∠BCA = ∠DCE

<em>Reason:</em>

Vertical Angles Theorem (states that vertical angles, angles that are opposite each other and formed by two intersecting straight lines, are congruent)

Statement:

5-) triangle ABC = triangle DEC

ASA Postulate

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (The included side is the side between the vertices of the two angles.)
