Is 1/2 greater than 1/3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:
To find whether 1/2 is greater than 1/3, it is important to convert them to decimals. By converting them to decimals, we can visually understand the number that is greater.
1/2 = 0.5
1/3 = 0.33
So from the above deduction we can conclude that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. I hope the procedure is not that complicated for you to understand. You can always use this procedure for finding the answer to similar kind of questions in future without requiring any help from anyone else.

Answer 2

Answer: Obviously 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/3 = 0.33 , so what we need to know is which is bigger , 0.5 or 0.33 ,in this case most would think that 0.33 is bigger than 0.5 because its 5 and 33.

Example : if you imaged having apples , wouldn't you want 1 apple out of 2 instead of 1 apple out of 3? yes.We just converted the fractions from 1/2 to 0.5 and 1/3 to 0.33.

Now why would 0.5 also known as 1/2 be greater than 0.33 also known as 1/3, is it because its closer to an whole number? or is 0.33 greater because 33 is simply bigger than 5. Yeah that's what most people think , and that's where they go wrong.

If you look back at the apple example you will have your answer.

now that you looked back at it this means the answer is yes 1/2 is greater than 1/3

What is the slope in the Y intercept of a linear function that is represented by y equals 9 x - 2

Answers

Answer:

The slope is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

y = how far up

x = how far along

m = slope

b = value of y when x = 0

y = 9x - 2

The m is replaced by 9 which is the slope.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because side BD is similar to side BA

triangle BCD seems to be double the size of triangle BAD

By finding the side lengths of the missing sides BC and CD you can get the perimeter.

Because we know the triangle is double the size you can double the lengths of AD and BD to get 24 and 18, if you add 6,9,24, and 18. You will get 57.
