Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

56/60 = 0.9333

19/20 = 0.95

Now that these fractions have been converted to decimal format, we can compare the numbers to get our answer. 0.9333 is NOT greater than 0.95 which also means that 56/60 is NOT greater than 19/20.

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to compare fractions and you can use your new found skills to compare whether one fraction is greater than another or not!

Answer:

Point O is the center of the circle.

Part (a)

$\overline{A\:\!F}$ is a chord.

$\overline{OD}$ is a segment of the radius and is perpendicular to $\overline{A\:\!F}$

If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord (divides the chord into two equal parts).

Therefore, $\overline{AD}=\overline{DF}$

Part (b)

If $\overline{BE}$ was extended past point E to touch the circumference it would be a chord.

As $\overline{OC}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{BE}$ , it would bisect the chord, but as $\overline{BE}$ is only a portion of a chord, $\overline{OC}$ does not bisect $\overline{BE}$ .
