Which is bigger 2/3 or 7/8??

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: When you're comparing fractions, the best thing to do is to either find a common denominator or convert them into fractions. The lowest common denominator between 3 and 8 is 24. 
You've then got to multiply the first fraction by 8, giving you 16/24
You then multiply the second fraction by 3, giving you 21/24
You can also convert them into decimals.
2/3 as a decimal is 0.6666 (recurring)
7/8 as a decimal is 0.875

Therefore, 7/8 is bigger.
Hope this helps :) 
Answer 2
Answer:

After setting up the denominator same, the fraction 7/8 is bigger than 2/3.

We have,

To determine which fraction is bigger between 2/3 and 7/8, we can compare them by finding a commondenominator and then comparing the numerators.

The commondenominator for 3 and 8 is 24.

To convert 2/3 and 7/8 to have the same denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 8 and the numerator and denominator of 7/8 by 3:

2/3 * 8/8 = 16/24

7/8 * 3/3 = 21/24

Now we can see that 16/24 is smallerthan 21/24.

Therefore,

7/8 is bigger than 2/3.

The sketch of this crayon represents an irregular polygon. Find the area of the figure.

Answers

The area of the irregular polygon in the sketch is: D. 40.5 cm².

What is the Area of an Irregular Polygon?

To find the area of an irregular polygon, decompose the polygon into known shapes. Find the area of each shape and add all together.

Thus:

The irregular polygon is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of the irregular polygon = area of rectangle + area of triangle.

= length × width + 1/2(base × height)

Length = 12.5 cm

Width = 3 cm

Base = 3 cm

Height = 2 cm

Area of the irregular polygon = 12.5 × 3 + 1/2(3 × 2)

= 40.5 cm²

Ok so,
#1 is a triangular pyramid as we can see.
The surface area formula of a pyramid is:
S.A = Area of base + (1)/(2) × perimeter of base × slant height
The base is 8 cm ( 4cm + 4cm = 8cm)
Height of the triangle is 3.5 cm
Area formula of a triangle is:
A = (1)/(2)bh
P = all sides added together

Substitute them:
S.A = (1)/(2) × 8 × 3.5 + (1)/(2) ×(8 + 8 + 8) × 5
S.A = 14 + 60
       = 74 cm²

and #2 is a squared-based pyramid
Same formula applies.
And we know that the area formula of a square is:
A = s²
P = add all sides together

S.A = 2² + (1)/(2) × (2 + 2 + 2 + 2) × 3
       = 4 + 12
       = 16 ft²
