Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8 but less than 1/3

VladimirAG [237]

So first thing we have to realise is that we have to make them have equal denominators. So,

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{24}$ .

Now order the fractions....so,

$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{24}$

Now we can see why $\frac{1}{6}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{8}$ but less than $\frac{1}{3}$

Need help ASAP !!!! Solve for angle A

avanturin [10]

Since vertical angles are equal you can put the same value to the opposite angles. Also, you were given a supplementary angle which are two angles added to 180 degrees. Of those 180 you were given 100. The angle next to the 100 degrees has a value of 80. With all this, you add all the angles together and put it equal to 180 which is what the angles of a triangle add up to. Then you combine like terms to get the value of X and just replace it for x. After that you just multiply and then add.
