Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first, negative numbers always have a lower value than positive numbers and so - $\frac{1}{6}$ and - $\frac{5}{6}$ is definitely not the answer.

Secondly, imagine that an apple pie is divided into 6 equal parts, and one person gets 5 of the 6 parts and the other got 1 of the 6 parts. Person A would get 4 more parts of the 6 parts than Person B so it shows that $\frac{5}{6}$ is more than $\frac{1}{6}$ .

Thus, the fraction with the greatest value is 5/6

The sides of the rectangle are in the ratio of 4:7. If its length is 31.5 in., find the width, the perimeter, and the area of th

AveGali [126]

Let $\ell$ the length and $w$ the width. By the ratio of the sides:

$\dfrac{w}{\ell}=\dfrac{4}{7}\Longrightarrow \dfrac{w}{31.5}=\dfrac{4}{7}\Longrightarrow w=\dfrac{4\cdot31.5}{7}\Longrightarrow \boxed{w=18~in.}$

Now, we'll find the perimeter p. We'll use the formula below:

$p=2(\ell+w)\\\\
p=2(31.5+18)\\\\
p=2\cdot49.5\\\\
\boxed{p=99~in.}$

The area of a rectangle is $S=w\cdot\ell$ . Then:

$S=w\cdot\ell\\\\
S=18\cdot31.5\\\\
\boxed{S=567~in.^2}$
