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!

Find the slope and y intercept of the line y=7/5x-3 5/7; 3 3; 7/5 7/5;-3 -3; 7/5
7nadin3 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = 7/5x - 3

Comparing with the above formula

<h3>Slope / m = 7/5</h3><h3>c/ y intercept = - 3</h3>

Hope this helps you

A civil engineer is designing a public parking lot for the new town hall. The number of cars in each row should be six less than
Alexandra [31]
The new parking lot must hold twice as many cars as the previous parking lot. The previous parking lot could hold 56 cars. So this means the new parking lot must hold 2 x 56 = 112 cars

Let y represent the number of cars in each row, and x be the number of total rows in the parking lot. Since the number of cars in each row must be 6 less than the number of rows, we can write the equation as:

y = x - 6             (1)

The product of cars in each row and the number of rows will give the total number of cars. So we can write the equation as:

xy = 112           (2)

Using the above two equations, the civil engineer can find the number of rows he should include in the new parking lot.

Using the value of y from equation 1 to 2, we get:

x(x - 6) = 112       (3)

This equation is only in terms of x, i.e. the number of rows and can be directly solved to find the number of rows that must in new parking lot.

 If the equation y = 15x + 2 is changed to y = 15x - 4, how will the graph of the line change?
igomit [66]
The y-intercept is changed from 2 to -4.

That means that the point that the graph crosses the y axis has been moved down by 6.

Since the slope of the line has not changed, this just means the graph of the line will be moved down by 6.

Hope this helps!

If the divisor is 4 and the quotient is 8, what is the dividend ?
kolbaska11 [484]
<h3>If the divisor is 4 and the quotient is 8, Then, dividend is 32</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Divisor = 4

Quotient = 8

To find: dividend

We know that,

Dividend \div divisor = quotient

Therefore,

Dividend \div 4 = 8\\\\Dividend \times \frac{1}{4} = 8\\\\Dividend = 8 \times 4\\\\Dividend = 32

Thus, dividend is 32
