Which is greater 1/5 or 2/8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1/5 = 0.2
2/8 = 0.25

1/5 is less than 2/8
2/8 is greater than 1/5

1/5 < 2/8
2/8 > 1/5

Answer 2

Answer:

In order to find the solution, you must find a common denominator.

A good common denominator for these 2 fractions is 40 because 5 times 8 is 40 and 8 times 5 is 40.

For 1/5, multiply the 1 by 8 because you multiplied the 5 by 8 and you must do the same thing you did to the denominator to the numerator, so 1 times 8 is 8.

1/5 = 8/40

You do the same thing to 2/8 except multiply by 5.

2 times 5 is 10.

2/8 = 10/40

Now you have the fractions 8/40 and 10/40.

10/40 is greater than 8/40, so 10/40 > 8/40.

10/40 = 2/8

2/8 is greater than 1/5.

Hope this helps. :)

To find the length of side HJ, we need to use sine, as we're looking for the length of the side that is opposite to the side where we have an angle measure.

Sin(70*) = x/13

Sin(70* = 0.94) = x/13

Multiply both sides by 13.

Sin = 12.21 = x

The side HJ is equal to 12.21.
