You can tell right away 5/6 isnt the smallest then 1/3 is smaller than 3/7 so that leaves 2 answers since 1/3 of 14 is 4 . 666666 so 1/3 is the smallest

To find which one is the smallest, we must first give the fractions a common denominator. That number happens to be 42. Rewriting the fractions results in:

3/7 becomes 18/42
1/3 becomes 14/42
5/6 becomes 35/42
9/14 becomes 27/42

When placed in this format, we can see that 1/3 is in fact the smallest. Hope this helps :)

What is the slope of the graph?

VMariaS [17]

Given:

Given that an aquarium is being filled with water.

The given graph shows the height of the water over time as the aquarium is being filled.

We need to determine the slope of the graph.

Slope:

The slope of the given graph can be determined using the formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Since, the slope is same for all the points on the straight line, then let us consider the points (2,5) and (4,10)

Substituting these points in the above formula, we get;

$m=\frac{10-5}{4-2}$

Simplifying, we get;

$m=\frac{5}{2}$

$m=2.5$

Thus, the slope of the given graph is 2.5

Explain how an estimate helps you place the decimal point when multiplying 3.7×5.1

Cloud [144]

If you estimated 3.7 to 4 and 5.1 to 5 the answer would be 20. You would have 20 and now you can think is 20 a reasonable answer for 3.7x5.1. The answer for 3.7x5.1=18.87, so the answer is yes.

Hope that helped:)
