Simple!
Since we can observe that they all have the same denominators (bottom part) we can just observe the numerator (top part)
6 is indeed greater than 5, yes? So we can safely say that
6/8 > 5/8
Now the for the second part.
6 is smaller than 7, yes? So we can make the observation that
6/8 < 7/8
Hope that makes sense! (Be sure to thank me, plz)
P.S. If you want an example of unlike denominators, let me know. <span />

Answer:
y=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3y+1=0
3y=-1
3y/3=-1/3
y=-1/3
The two parabolas intersect for

and so the base of each solid is the set

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas,
. But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to
.
a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.
b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is
