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.

A cylinder has a radius of 5 feet and a height of 8 feet. Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of a cone t
Lilit [14]
The answer is 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8) 

The volume of the cylinder (V1) is:
V1 = π · r² · h                (r - radius, h - height)

The volume of the cone (V2) is:
V2 = 1/3 π · r² · h         (r - radius, h - height)

It is given:
r = 5 feet
h = 8 feet
π = 3.14

Therefore, the volume of the cone is:
V2 = 1/3 · 3.14 · 5² · 8   which is the same as 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8).
