What Fraction Is Bigger 8/15 or 14/25?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The first thing to do is to make the denominators the same:
8/15 = 40/75
14/25 = 42/75

42/75 is bigger than 40/75. Therefore, 14/25 is bigger than 8/15.

Answer 2

Answer: In order to solve these problems, you would have to change the fractions so that they have equal denominators. In order to do so, you must find the LCM of the denominators, in this case 15 and 25.

The LCM is 75 for these two numbers. Now, you change the fractions based on their new denominators.

8/15 = 40/75
14/25 = 42/75

I got this by dividing 75 by the previous denominators and multiplying that result by the original numerators. (i.e. 75/25 = 3 * 14 = 42)

So, now that you've changed both fractions to have equal denominators, you can see, by the numerators, which of the two is bigger.

Your answer is 14/25.

Hope this is clear and helps you out for future problems :)

If Guy walks from his house to school and back, how far does he walk.

Answers

Answer:

total distance = 1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given below from the picture, the distance from the guy's house to the school is given as 5/10 miles.

5/10 miles can still be reduced to the lowest fraction as 1/2 miles.

Since he works to and fro from his house to school and school to house, The distance he covered will be the sum of the distance from house to school and school to house .

Distance from house to school = 1/2 miles

Distance from school to house = 1/2 miles

The total distance he covered = 1/2 miles + 1/2 miles

total distance = 1 miles

5/10 plus 5/10 equals 10/10 which equals 1.

What is Unit Conversion?

A unit conversion is the expression of the same feature in a different unit of measurement. Time, for example, can be stated in minutes rather than hours, and distance can be translated from miles to kilometres, feet, or any other length measurement.

We know,

There are 12 inches in 1 foot

There are 3 feet in 1 yard

Now, to convert feet to inches

= 180 /12

Then, feet to yards

= 180 /12 x 13

= 60 / 12

= 5 yard

Thus, Ellen need to 5 yard of ribbon.

To solve this, all you need to do is multiply 16 by 3/8. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, make the whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.

16 3
---- x ---- Multiply the numerators together and then the denominators.
1 8

(16 x 3) / (1 x 8)
