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!

Explain: how would you model 5 x 2/3
ELEN [110]
Well as you can see 5 x 2/3= 3 1/3 there is 7 steps to figure it out

1. set up the problem
5 x 2/3

2. put a 1 on 5 to make it a fraction
5/1 x 2/3

3. multiply and divide
(5 x 2) / (1/3)

4. find out the answer
10/3

5. turn the answer into a mixed fraction
10 divided by 3= 3.1 3 stays the same you don't need to say 1

6. it equals
3 1/3

7. so the answer is
3 1/3

7(h-4)=2h+17 help plzz
S_A_V [24]
7(h-4) = 2h + 17         distribute to get:
7h - 28 = 2h + 17       subtract 2h from both sides to get:
5h - 28 = 17               add 28 to both sides to get:
5h = 45                      divide 5 from both sides to get:
h = 9
