2/4 is the larger fraction. Think of a candy bar that is cut into 4 equal pieces. Now think of the same sized candy bar cut into 6 pieces. The candy bar that has been cut into sixths has more pieces but they are smaller pieces that the candy bar cut into fourths.
**When comparing fractions, if the numerators are the same (like they are in this problem) look at the denominators. Whichever fraction has the greater number is actually going to be the smaller fraction (more pieces, but smaller pieces). If the denominators are the same, then the fraction that has the greater number in the numerator will be the larger fraction (more same-sized pieces than the other fraction)
Hope that helps!
Answer:
14.04 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is asking for Izumi's speed. The formula of speed is:
- s =
, where "s" means speed, "d" means distance and "t" means time.
The problem is also asking for the unit<u> miles per hou</u>r (
) so, this means that we have to know how many miles Izumi ran, given that the problem only mentioned<u> yards (110 yards).</u>
Let's convert 110 yards to miles, provided that he Izumi ran 1,760 yards in a mile.
- 110 yards ÷ 1760
= 0.0625 miles (this is the distance covered by Izumi in miles)
Let's go back again to the formula: s =
s = 
= 0.0039 
Since, the we arrived at a miles per second unit, we have to convert it to miles per hour.
So, if a minute has 60 seconds, then an hour has 3,600 seconds.
Thus, 0.0039 × 3,600 
= 14.04 miles per hour (the answer)
2.25/3=0.75.....0.75*2= 1.5. 1.5 is your answer.
I got x=185
0.75(185)-18.50=0.65(185)
120.25=120.25
