Compare 1 over 5 and 1 over 4

1/4 is greater than 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to look at this is to make a model.

The colored part in the one on the left looks smaller than the colored part in the one on the right.

(Left=1/5)

(Right=1/4)

Another way to look at it is to convert it into percents/decimals. These fractions are easy so we’ll go with percents for this one.

1/5 = 20%

1/4=25%

Which is greater? 25 or 20? Obviously 25. That’s another reason why 1/4 is greater than 1/5.

You can also make the denominators common and compare the numerators.

1/5 = 4/20

1/4 = 5/20

Comparing the numerators, 5 is greater than 4, so again, 1/4 is greater than 1/5.

Hope this helps!!

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

    200 words per minute

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
