7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3.
in order to find if this is true, you need to find the common denominator which is 12. in order for 1/3 to have a denominator of 12, you need to multiply by 4. but we all know the rule. whatever we do to the bottom needs to be done to the top, so 1/3 is = 4/12. 7/12 is greater than 4/12. we do the same to 2/3 and multiply the denominator by 4 and the numerator by 4 as well, and the result would be 8/12. if we compare, 7/12 is less than 8/12.

Change 0.275 to a fraction

goldenfox [79]

Well, the number is decimal form, is in the thousandths place, so the denominator, would be 1000's:
0.275 = 275⁄1000 
Then, you have to Simplify 275⁄1000 In which, you would get:  11⁄40

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

There is a 3/20 chance that a red plastic marble will be taken out on random.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there are 14 yellow marbles, and 6 red marbles. Along with this, half of the red marbles are made out of plastic. This leaves 3/6 of the red marbles made out of plastic. When combined with the yellow marbles, you'll add 14 to the denominator, since there are 14 yellow marbles. (Red + Yellow = Total Number Of Marbles) This leads to a total count of 3 marbles of the 20 total marbles, being red and made out of plastic.
