2/3>3/ number that makes the statement true..
I am confused
If you want to find x so that
2/3 > 3/x, then just multiply both sides by 3x and you have
2x > 9
Can you do that now?
1/2 5/
1/2 10/8
To determine the number that makes the statement 2/3 > 3/?, we need to find the denominator that would create a fraction less than 2/3 on the right side.
Let's look at the denominator values one by one:
When the denominator is 1, the fraction 3/1 equals 3. In this case, 2/3 is greater than 3, so it is not true.
When the denominator is 2, the fraction 3/2 equals 1.5. In this case, 2/3 is not greater than 1.5, so it is not true.
When the denominator is 3, the fraction 3/3 equals 1. In this case, 2/3 is greater than 1, so it is true.
When the denominator is 4, the fraction 3/4 equals 0.75. In this case, 2/3 is greater than 0.75, so it is true.
So, the statement 2/3 > 3/? is true when the denominator is either 3 or 4.
