Which benchmark is between 3/12 and 2/3 is it 1/2 or 1
The benchmark between 3/12 and 2/3 is 1/2.
Which benchmark is between 14/10 and 6/8 is it 1/2 or 1
To find the benchmark between 14/10 and 6/8, we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator.
14/10 can be simplified to 7/5, and 6/8 can be simplified to 3/4.
Now we have 7/5 and 3/4. To find the benchmark, we need to find a fraction that lies between these two fractions.
Let's find the common denominator, which is 20, by multiplying 5 and 4.
Now we have 7/5 and 15/20.
If we simplify 15/20, we get 3/4.
Since both fractions are the same, 3/4 is the benchmark between 14/10 and 6/8.
1/2 or 1
Apologies for the incorrect previous response. To find the benchmark between 14/10 and 6/8, we can simplify both fractions:
14/10 simplifies to 7/5 and 6/8 simplifies to 3/4.
The benchmark fraction will lie between these two fractions. To determine which fraction it is closer to, we can compare the numerators of both fractions.
7/5 is closer to 1 than 3/4, as 7 is closer to 8 (denominator of 3/4) than it is to 4 (denominator of 1).
Therefore, the benchmark between 14/10 and 6/8 is 1.
Which benchmark is between 5/6 and 5/4 is it 1/2 or 1
To find the benchmark between 5/6 and 5/4, we need to compare the two fractions and identify a fraction that lies between them.
Let's first put both fractions over a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12.
5/6 can be multiplied by 2/2 to get 10/12.
5/4 can be multiplied by 3/3 to get 15/12.
Now we have 10/12 and 15/12.
The benchmark fraction will lie between these two fractions. Comparing the numerators, we can see that the benchmark is closer to the fraction with the larger numerator, 15/12.
Therefore, the benchmark between 5/6 and 5/4 is 15/12, which can be simplified to 5/4.
1/2 or 1??
I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous response. To find the benchmark between 5/6 and 5/4, we need to compare the two fractions.
When we simplify the fractions, we have:
5/6 = 10/12
5/4 = 15/12
The fractions have a common denominator of 12.
To find the benchmark fraction, we need to determine a fraction that lies between 10/12 and 15/12.
Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can consider the numerators to determine which fraction is closer to the benchmark.
10/12 is closer to 1/2 (6/12) as its numerator is smaller than 15/12 but larger than 6/12.
Therefore, the benchmark between 5/6 and 5/4 is 1/2.
