1. -1/5>-3/5 because we have like denominators we compare the inputs by the numerators.
2. 3/4 > 5/8 the least common denominator is: 8
Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:
3/4 = 6/8 5/8 = 5/8
Comparing the numerators of the equivalent fractions we have:
6/8 > 5/8
22 would be the answer. You reverse the equation so you multiply 3 and add 7 5x3 = 15 15+7= 22
Her estimate is lower than her actual cost because her total is 72.87 she is off by 1.72 because she only added 42,17,and 12 and forgot all about adding the cent or the .60,.38,and the .89.
31-2=29 you add 2 to both sides so -2 cancels and you are left with X=31
the answer is 31
