Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Sheila has 28 stickers to divide evenly among 3 friends. She thinks there will be no leftovers. Use what you know about factor p
zysi [14]

Answer:

She is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

If our target number is 28 then we can create all of the following factor pairs for this number. These would be the following...

1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28

As we can see from the factor pairs there is no 3. This means that 3 would not divide evenly by 28 and cannot be multiplied by any whole number to create 28. Therefore, if you divide the 28 stickers by the 3 friends there will be some stickers leftover always.

Find the difference 7 7/8 - 3 1/4
lisov135 [29]
That would be 4 and 5/8. Because you would find the common denominator which would be 8 and then take 2*4 and 2*1 and get 2/8 and then subtract 3 and 2/8 from 7 and 7/8 and get 4 and 5/8. I hope this helps you.
