1/4 as a decimal is 0.25
whereas
1/6 as a decimal is 0.16

This means that 1/4 will be bigger than 1/6
Hope this helps!

1/4 is greater because 1/6 is split into smaller pieces. So if you only shade in one piece of each there would be no way they could be equivalent. You would only be shading In one piece so since 1/6 is smaller 1/4 would be greater.

melissa and brian are at the base of a moutain. melissa hikes to a location 27 meters above sea.level brian hikes to a location

sweet [91]

Answer:

The difference is 48 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

What is the difference of the hikers' altitudes?

Let

x -----> the Melissa's altitude in meters

y ----> Brian's altitude in meters

we have that

$x=+27\ ft$ ---> is positive because is above sea level

$y=-21\ ft$ ---> is negative because is below sea level

Remember that the sea level is the altitude equal to zero

Find the difference

To find out the difference of the hikers' altitudes, subtract Brian's altitude from Melissa's altitude

$27-(-21)$

Remember that (-1)(-1)=+1

$27+21=48\ m$
