water makes up 7/10 of your body. Is more than 1/2 of your body water? write a number sentence to compare 7/10 and 1/2. Explain
1/2 = 5/10
Which is greater >> 5/10 or 7/10?
7/10
7/10 is more than 1/2
7/10 is greater
To determine if more than 1/2 of your body is made up of water, we need to compare 7/10 to 1/2. Here's a number sentence that represents this comparison:
7/10 > 1/2
To explain this comparison, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the lowest common denominator for 10 and 2 is 10.
Now, let's convert both fractions so they have a denominator of 10:
7/10 = 7/10
1/2 = 5/10
By converting 1/2 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 10, we get 5/10.
Hence, the number sentence becomes:
7/10 > 5/10
As we can see, 7/10 is indeed greater than 5/10 or 1/2. Therefore, it can be concluded that more than 1/2 of your body is made up of water.
