is 7/12 grater than 58%

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

here's a hint \[58 \text % = \frac{58}{100}\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes,wouldn't that be Equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

if you try your calculator... \[7 \div 12 = 0.583333333333333\] while \[5 \div 100 = 0.58\] do you see what im implying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well that's usually the way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Normally you would get them in the same denominator through cross-multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you compare numerators and see if they're equal or not

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

looking at decimals are much easier though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29/50 and 7/12 would be equivalent to 348/600 and 350/600 respectively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh,ok! Thanks
