3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

to compare them, we should all bring to the same denominator.

the lcm (lowest common multiplier) is the that denominator.

let's use the approach of the prime factors :

3 : 3

5 : 5

32 : 2×2×2×2×2

24 : 2×2×2×3

the lcm is the combination of the longest "streaks" of the prime factors.

so,

2×2×2×2×2 × 3 × 5 = 32×15 = 480

2/-3 = -2/3 = -320/480 (as 3×160 = 480)

-4/5 = -4×96 / 5×96 = -384/480 (as 5×96 = 480)

21/-32 = -21/32 = -315/480 (as 32×15 = 480)

-15/24 = -15×20 / 24×20 = -300/480 (24×20 = 480)

as

-384/480 < -320/480 < -315/480 < -300/480

we can say

-4/5 < -2/3 < -21/32 < -15/24

3. The diameter of the large bird bath is 6 feet. The CGJ girls plan to put bird perches around the outside edge of the bath suc
Leokris [45]
First we need to determine the circumference of the bath.

Circumference = Diameter X pi 

6(pi) = 18.84 feet

and the girls want to put perches that are at least 3 feet between each other so you can just divide the circumference by 3 

18.84 / 3 = 6.28 so 6

If you don't understand the concept then think of it like this, if you have in total 18.84 feet and you want to place something down every 3 feet then start subtracting 3 from your total till you can't add anymore perches. 

18 - 3 = 15
15 - 3 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
9 - 3 = 6
6 - 3 = 3
3 - 3 = 0

We subtracted 3, SIX times so we added 6 perches
