I believe the answer is 6x-7y=-11
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.
In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x-6)=2
4x-24=2
4x=2+24
4x=28
x=7
When two fractions have the same denominator, you can compare which fraction is greater by just comparing the numerators.
For example, if you have 2/5 and 3/5, the denominators are the same. So you can just look at the numerators. 3 is greater than 5, so 3/5 is greater than 2/5.
The reasoning to this is that the two numbers are divided by the same number (5), so you can compare the original numbers (numerators).
