3. haleyelizabeth2017

Start off by dividing both 12 and 32 by 2. What do you get?

4. anonymous

12 divided by 2 is 6 and 32 divided by 2 is 16 so my answer is 6/16 right cause that is what I put as my answer

5. haleyelizabeth2017

Nope...they can both be divided by 2 still...

6. anonymous

but i didnt submit it yet

7. anonymous

ok

8. anonymous

so 6/2=3 and 16/2=8 which is 3/8

9. haleyelizabeth2017

Yes!

10. anonymous

so that is my answer

11. haleyelizabeth2017

correct.

12. anonymous

TY!!! :D

13. haleyelizabeth2017

No problem!

14. anonymous

17/4 as a mixed number?

15. anonymous

@haleyelizabeth2017

16. haleyelizabeth2017

hmmm...how many times does 4 go into 17?

17. haleyelizabeth2017

Er...what is 16/4?

18. anonymous

16/4 is 16 over 4 it is an improper fraction

19. anonymous

and 4 can go into 17 4 times

20. haleyelizabeth2017

I know. so, what is 17-16?

21. anonymous

is that a minus?

22. haleyelizabeth2017

yes

23. anonymous

ok thought so then it is 1

24. haleyelizabeth2017

Right. So we are left with $4 \frac{1}{4}$Do you understand how I got that?

25. anonymous

not really

26. anonymous

kinda though

27. haleyelizabeth2017

Since 4 can go into 17 4 times, that's a whole number. Since it doesn't divide evenly, we have 1 left over (1/4)

28. anonymous

the 17-16= the 1 and 4 can go into 17 4 times

29. anonymous

ohh

30. haleyelizabeth2017

Yep!

31. anonymous

but can you explain the whole thing of how to do it plz?

32. anonymous

and TY SOOO much for helping me.

33. haleyelizabeth2017

You're welcome! But that's all there is to explain....16/4=4 17-16 = 1 4 1/4

34. anonymous

yeah thats how i wanted to see it...TY again!!!! :D

35. haleyelizabeth2017

:)

36. anonymous

just one more plz?

37. anonymous

is 6/3 less than more than or equal to 10/15 ?

38. anonymous

@haleyelizabeth2017

39. anonymous

sorry if i am asking for to much. :(

40. haleyelizabeth2017

multiply 6/3 by 1/5...I think

41. haleyelizabeth2017

or 5/5

42. haleyelizabeth2017

so 30/15? it's larger

43. anonymous

so which one is greater then the other?

44. anonymous

or are they equal?

45. haleyelizabeth2017
