Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8

1/6 is greater than 1/8, because when you change the fractions 1/6 will be 4/24 but 1/8 will be 3/24. To change the fractions you first have to find the lowest number that both denominators can go in, so it is 24. 6 can go into 24 four times, so you multiply the numerator by 4 making 1/6 4/24. 8 can go into 24 three times, so you multiply the numerator by 3 so 1/8 = 3/24.

Because 1/6 is closer to a whole and if you cut a pie into 8 slices and get 1 slice of the 8 it is smaller than 6 pieces cut and get 1 of the 6 and the pieces will be bigger

-4x + 3 (2x - 5) = 31<br><br> Please help &amp; explain how you got to the answer
denis23 [38]
-4x + 3(2x - 5) = 31          (use distributive property to remove parentheses)
-4x + 6x - 15 = 31            (combine like terms)
2x - 15 = 31                    (add 15 to both sides)
     +15    +15
2x = 46                          (divide both sides by 2)
x = 23
