4 1/7 *blank> 4 1/7

help me with this question please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The center is confusing. 29/7 ____ 29/7, like that? With the two fractions and then a whitespace in the middle that you need to put an answer in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are the same number. You can see that, I'm sure. So what mathematical sign denotes equality?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the one (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but all of my answers are fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you be able to attach a picture of the problem? There might be something more to it that I can't see. Otherwise there is no fraction that should go in the center. Unless your first 29/7 was a -29/7 and we were looking for an algorithm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it might take a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here you go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhhh, this makes much more sense. Alright, so you have the problem, Fraction A multipled by Fraction C is greater than Fraction B. We know fraction A and Fraction B are both 4(1/7), which is equal to 29/7 when you put it in improper form. And you know how to do that, right? If not, stop me so I can explain. If so, then we can rule out two of the options by logic. 8/8 is equal to 1, since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal. And 1/1 is 1. And *any* number multiplied by itself is *still* itself. So Fraction A * 1 will be equal to Fraction B, since 29/7 *1 is still 29/7. We want to find a number that is greater than 29/7. With me so far?

ok, i think i know what you are saying. and i will select my answer and then you tell what it was and i will she if i got it correct. okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, tell me what your answer is and I'll let you know if it's right or not. And if it isn't, I'll explain why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes (:
