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:

<span>3/7 becomes 18/42
1/3 becomes 14/42
5/6 becomes 35/42
9/14 becomes 27/42
</span>
When placed in this format, we can see that 1/3 is in fact the smallest. Hope this helps :)

If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you

In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.

So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.

If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.
