Answer:

1/8 is less than 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Alright so the first thing we need to do here is make the bottom part of both fraction (the denominator) the same number.

To do this we need to find the GCF of the denominators (Greatest common factor of 8 and 6)

So basically what does 8 and 6 both go into equally and what do we need to multiply by to get there.

In this case 16 is a good number. Since 8 goes into 16 as well 6 goes into 18.

But what we need to multiply by is different.

For the 8 we need to multiply both numbers in the fraction by 2 to get to 16.

Like so:

1/8

1 x 2

8 x 2

=

2/18

Now we can do the same thing for the fraction but instead use 3 because you need to multiply 6 x 3 to find 18.

Like so :

5/6

5 x 3

6 x 3

=

15/18

So now we have two fractions that have the same bottom number and now we can just go off the numerators (top number) and see which one is larger.

So 1/8 = 2/18

So 5/6 = 15/18

So going off that you can see 2/18 is less than 15/18 and conclude that 1/8 is less than 5/6.

I hope this helps!

If you have any questions or concerns do message me or comment!

jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn. His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as Jake. How many pounds can Jake
Studentka2010 [4]
It would be: 6 1/4 * 1 5/7
= 25/4 * 12/7
= 300/28 = 150/14 = 75/7

In short, Your Answer would be 75/7 or 10 5/7 Pounds

Hope this helps!

An object is launched directly in the air at a speed of 48 feet per second from a platform located 12 feet above the ground. The
anastassius [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  48 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For the quadratic ax^2 +bx +c, the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a). For the given quadratic, which defines a parabola opening downward, the axis of symmetry defines the time at which the maximum height is reached.

  t = -48/(2(-16)) = 1.5

Then the maximum height is ...

  f(1.5) = (-16·1.5 +48)1.5 +12 = (24·1.5) +12

  f(1.5) = 48

The maximum height the object will reach is 48 feet.
