You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.
If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.
2*6 + 8 - 8
= 12 + 8 - 8
= 20 - 8
= 12
Answer:
You are 34 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Because, 34-17=17
17 is half of 34.
2x+20=y
y-17=0.5y
+17 +17
y=0.5y+17
2(0.5y+17)+20=0.5y+17
y+34+20=0.5y+17
y+54=0.5y+17
y=34
