i wrote the question wrong it was find three ways to show that 7/8 is greater 5/6 use pictures numbers and or words
Change the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator.
7/8 = 21/24
5/6 = 20/24
Follow the same directions I posted before -- except you could draw rectangles, rather than circles.
Find three ways to show that 7/8 is greater than 5/6
To show that 7/8 is greater than 5/6 using pictures, numbers, and words, here are three ways:
1. Picture representation:
Draw two bars representing 7/8 and 5/6. Divide the first bar into 8 equal parts and shade 7 parts. Divide the second bar into 6 equal parts and shade 5 parts. Compare the two shaded regions. You will notice that the shaded region for 7/8 is larger, indicating that it is greater than 5/6.
2. Numeric comparison:
Convert both fractions to decimals or percentages.
- 7/8 = 0.875 (or 87.5%)
- 5/6 = 0.833 (or 83.3%)
Comparing the decimals or percentages, you can see that 0.875 is greater than 0.833. Therefore, 7/8 is greater than 5/6.
3. Verbal explanation:
When comparing fractions, you can look at the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) separately. In this case:
- The numerator of 7/8 is greater than the numerator of 5/6 (7 > 5).
- The denominator of 7/8 is the same as the denominator of 5/6 (8 = 6).
Since the numerator of 7/8 is greater than the numerator of 5/6, while the denominators are the same, it means that 7/8 is greater than 5/6.
