please help me can you give me the answers plz
What might help you is to convert it into decimal form. Example: 2/3 (2 divided by 3) = 0.6667
So is 3/4 greater, less than, or equal to -5/6?
look im not trying to be rude but the only reason everybody come on this site is to get answers so if you don't mind could you just give me the answers plz
To determine the answers, we need to compare the two fractions in each statement. Here's how you can find the correct symbols:
Statement 1: 3/4 _ -5/6
To compare fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12. We then convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12:
3/4 = 9/12
-5/6 = -10/12
Now, we can compare the two fractions: 9/12 _ -10/12
Since 9/12 is greater than -10/12, the correct symbol to complete the statement is "b.>"
Statement 2: -1 3/4 _ 3/4
To compare a mixed number with a fraction, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:
-1 3/4 = -7/4
Now, we can compare the two fractions: -7/4 _ 3/4
Since -7/4 is less than 3/4, the correct symbol to complete the statement is "a.<"
Statement 3: 2 3/4 _ 2 4/6
To compare mixed numbers with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12. We then convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 3/4 = 11/4
2 4/6 = 14/6 = 7/3
Now, we can compare the two fractions: 11/4 _ 7/3
To compare fractions with different denominators, we can cross-multiply:
11/4 x 3/1 = 33/4
7/3 x 4/1 = 28/3
Since 33/4 is greater than 28/3, the correct symbol to complete the statement is "a.<"
Therefore, the answers are:
1. b.>
2. a.<
3. a.<
