1/6 = 4/24

1/8 = 3/24

1/3 = 8/24

4/24 is greater than 3/24, but its less than 8/24.

Hope this helped☺☺

If you put it all in the same denominator, which will be 24. So you times 6 by 4 to get there so you times the numerator as well, So now 1/6 = 4/24. And it will be the same for 1/8. Times by 3 to get 24. So its 3/24, and 1/3 times by 8 to get 25 1/3 = 8/24 so now you have the same denominator.
1/6 = 4/24
1/8 = 3/24
1/3 = 8/24
And as you can see 1/6 is bigger than 1/8 and less than 1/3

A radio station is going to construct a 5-foot tower on top of a building. the tower will be supported by three cables, each att

KonstantinChe [14]

You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem.
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:

A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.

3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.
