If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same.  For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.

But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with.  Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1.  If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies.  Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.

So, which one is the greatest fraction?  In this case, who had more cookies?  That would be you.  So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.

Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope intercept form.
grigory [225]

Answer:

y = -3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (m) = (-8 - -5) / (2 - 1)   ... difference of y/difference of x

m = -3

y = mx + b

y = -3x + b

for (3,-11)    b = y + 3x = -11 + 3x3 = -2

equation: y = -3x - 2

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The value 4.5 is rational and the value 15−−√ is irrational. The sum of 4.5 and 15−−√ has a non-repeating and non-terminating decimal expansion. Therefore, the sum of 4.5 and 15−−√ is irrational. I can't explan but that's the correct Answer
