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

What is the equation for the line of reflection that maps the trapezoid onto itself? Enter your answer in the box______
nadezda [96]
Y = -1

It is an isosceles trapezoid, which is just as well, otherwise it could not reflect onto itself. The line of reflection is the same as the mirror line which is the same as the axis of symmetry.

It runs horizontally exactly through the middle of the shape.

All horizontal lines have the equation y = a value

In this case the line is <span>y=−<span>1</span></span>
