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

Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 57????
Setler79 [48]

Answer:18 19 20

Step-by-step explanation:"Consecutive"  means that the integers will follow each other in value, for example:  1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6.  Also, no decimals are needed here because "integers" are whole, counting numbers. Here is the set up:   Let x= the first integer     Then    X+1= 2nd consecutive integer   and x+2= 3rd  .  

Suppose that x=1   x+1= 1+1=2   and x+2=1+2=3   However, you need specific consecutive numbers whose sum is 57.  Remember that sum means to add:

x+  (x+1)  + (x+2) = 57                 Addition of all 3 consecutive numbers   Now solve for x

                                                   and substitute into each part to come up with the three integers:

3x + 3= 57        3x=54               x=54/3  =  18            x=18,   x+1= 18+1=19      x+2=18+2=20

Check your answer:  18+19+20=57                 57=57  Check

A 4 metre ladder is placed against a vertical wall.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Original position: base is 1.5 meters away from the wall and the vertical distance from the top end to the ground let it be y and length of the ladder be L.

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=y^2+(1.5)^2=y^2+2.25 Eq1.

Final position: base is 2 meters away, and the vertical distance from top end to the ground is y - 0.25 because it falls down the wall 0.25 meters and length of the ladder is also L.

By pythagorean theorem, L^2=(y -0.25)^2+(2)^2=y^2–0.5y+ 0.0625+4=y^2–0.5y+4.0625 Eq 2.

Equating both Eq 1 and Eq 2: y^2+2.25=y^2–0.5y+4.0625

y^2-y^2+0.5y+2.25–4.0625=0

0.5y- 1.8125=0

0.5y=1.8125

y=1.8125/0.5= 3.625

Using Eq 1: L^2=(3.625)^2+2.25=15.390625, L=(15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder

Using Eq 2: L^2=(3.625)^2–0.5(3.625)+4.0625

L^2=13.140625–0.90625+4.0615=15.390625

L= (15.390625)^1/2= 3.92 meters length of ladder
