will i be called rude if i tell you to use a calculator ?

Answer 2

LOL. I saw that comment and I waas like. "LOL." But I don't know what exactly to do.?

Answer 3

\[22\div 35\] see what you get
then try the others

Answer 4

0.62857142857 is it me or is that complicated

Answer 5

otherwise you have to write them all with the least common multiple of \(35,30,15,5\) as the denomoinator

Answer 6

well you are only comparing them
now try \(17\div 30\) and see if it is bigger or smaller

Answer 7

0.56666666666

Answer 8

i get \(.5666...\) so it is smaller than the first one

Answer 9

throw that one out
now try \(8\div15\)

one more to go

Answer 12

3/5 = 0.6

Answer 13

ok
still smaller than the first one right?

Answer 14

Yea. So it's A

Answer 15

i can show you how to do this the math teacher way
writing each fraction as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of \(210\) and then comparing the numerators
we can do that if you like

Answer 16

but really decimals are made for calculators , rude as it may be

Answer 17

Wouldn't it just be easier to use the calculator? I only have an hour left and I still need help ;-;. I don't need a lecture from a math teacher (No offense)

Answer 18

yeah i think so, that is why i said it

Answer 19
