-10. It is negative, so it it not a whole number. It can be written as a ratio, so it is rational.
Hope that helped you!
<span>If Hunter raises beetles in a square of compost with a size of 6 ft by 6 ft and having 500 beetles, and then you are to find the number of beetles with a side length that is four times longer, then you can solve this by ratio and proportion.
A = s</span>²
A = 6²
A = 36 ft²
if s = 4*the original length, then the new area is
A = 24²
A = 576 ft²
500 beetles/36 ft² = x number of beetles/576 ft²
x = 8,000 beetles
One of the fractions could be 1/2
Hoped this helped at all :)
Since both fractions have the same denominator, to find the greater one all you have to do is see which one has a bigger numerator
42>36
the answer is 42/126 is greater
