<h3>
Answer: E) 1/5</h3>
========================================================
Method 1
Use your calculator to find the decimal version of each fraction
- 4/10 = 0.40
- 12/25 = 0.48
- 14/20 = 0.70
- 28/50 = 0.56
- 1/5 = 0.20
We see that 0.20 is the smallest decimal of the list, so 1/5 is the smallest fraction of the list.
----------------------------
Method 2
To compare fractions, we need to get all of the denominators to the same value. A good target is the lowest common denominator (LCD)
In this case, the LCD is 100
- 4/10 = 40/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 10
- 12/25 = 48/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 4
- 14/20 = 70/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 5
- 28/50 = 56/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 2
- 1/5 = 20/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 20
The last fraction has the smallest denominator, so 1/5 is the smallest.
Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.
Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.
x + x + 2 = -36
2x + 2 = -36
2x = -38
x = -19
The smaller one of the two integers is -19.
x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17
The greater of the two integers is -17.
Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

It should be 1 over 2 or 1 over 11 but im pretty sure its the first one I picked
