No idea. Please help. Is 20 times 5/6 g reater than or less than 20? How do you do it? Second question What is 4/5 of 2/3?It shows a square and says find answer on the model. Any help, please
20 times 5/6 must be less than 20 because 5/6 is less than 1.
5/6 * 20 = 100/6 = 16 2/3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4/5 * 2/3 = 8/15
Thank you so much
You're very welcome.
To determine whether 20 times 5/6 is greater than or less than 20, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 20 to an improper fraction. Since 20 is a whole number, it can be written as 20/1.
Step 2: Multiply 20/1 by 5/6. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together and then multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together. The result is the product of the two fractions.
(20/1) * (5/6) = (20 * 5) / (1 * 6) = 100/6
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible. In this case, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
100/6 = (100 ÷ 2) / (6 ÷ 2) = 50/3
Now, to compare 50/3 with 20, we can convert 20 to an improper fraction:
20 = 20/1
Since 50/3 is greater than 20/1, we can conclude that 20 times 5/6 (or 100/6) is greater than 20.
Moving on to the second question, to find 4/5 of 2/3, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply 4/5 by 2/3. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together.
(4/5) * (2/3) = (4 * 2) / (5 * 3) = 8/15
Step 2: Now, in order to find the answer on the model, we need to refer to the square provided.
The square represents a whole, which is divided into a total of 15 equal parts. Since we are finding 8/15 of the whole, you would shade 8 out of the 15 equal parts on the model.
Hence, the answer to the question "What is 4/5 of 2/3?" is 8/15.
