Is 7/16 greater than 5/9

5/9 > 7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

first find a common denomerator like 144

mult 7/16 by 9

and 5/9 by 16

get 63/144 vs 80/144

so 5/9 is greater than 7/16

No

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators they're called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 16 and 9 will be the least common multiple of 16 and 9 or 144.

To get a 144 in the denominator of 7/16, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 9 which gives us 63/144. To get a 144 in the denominator of 5/9, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 16 which gives us 80/144.

Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 144 in the denominator. To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Here, since 80 is greater than 63,

80/144 is greater than 63/144.

This means that 5/9 must be greater than 7/16.

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
