I don't get it! /is 20 times 5/6 greater than or less than 20
since 5/6 is less than 1, 5/6 of 20 is less than the whole 20.
Multiplying by a fraction less than 1 means you are only getting that part of the whole.
I got nothing.
who made this answer uhh i got nothing to
To determine whether 20 times 5/6 is greater than or less than 20, we need to compare the two quantities.
To start, let's calculate 20 times 5/6:
20 * 5/6 = (20 * 5) / 6 = 100 / 6
To simplify the fraction 100/6, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 100 and 6, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:
100 / 2 = 50
6 / 2 = 3
Therefore, 100/6 simplifies to 50/3.
Now, let's compare 20 and 50/3.
To compare these numbers, we can convert both to decimal form or compare them directly as fractions. Let's do both:
Decimal form:
20 ≈ 6.6667
50/3 ≈ 16.6667
Comparing these decimal values, we can observe that 50/3, which is 16.6667, is less than 20 (6.6667).
Fraction form:
We can determine whether 50/3 is greater or less than 20 by simplifying the fractions so they have a common denominator. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of 20 by 3:
20 * 3 = 60
Now, we can compare 50/3 and 60:
50/3 < 60
Comparing these fractions, we can see that 50/3 is less than 60.
In conclusion, 20 times 5/6, which is 50/3, is less than 20.
