Answer:

12/17 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

12/17 is greater than 5/8 because to determine which fraction is greater you need to have the same denominator. To get the same denominator I multiplied 17 by 8 and 8 by 17. Since what you do the denominator you have to do the same to the numerator, you would multiply 12 by 8 and 5 by 17 which would lead you to get 12/17= 96/136 and 5/8= 85/136. So, 96/136 > 85/136.

Hey there! Hello!

So, for this problem, I don't really see an answer choice that fits along with this description?? The last one is the closest to the answer I believe it is, but still doesn't fit exactly:

Twice a number = 2n
Three more than = +3
Final equation = 2n+3

Perhaps you have a typo either in your question or your answer problem, or I'm just way too tired. Either way, I hope this helped you out, and feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have.
