Please help! Thanks! http://prnt.sc/avddiq Im not sure what the answer is D:
You can use a calculator and make all the fractions into decimals.
so 1 would be 0.5 and 3/5 would be 35.0?
No. 1 is 1.0. 3/5 means how many times does 5 go into 3.
but then 3/5 is 1.666666....
5/3 is 1.6666 When the numerator is greater than the denominator, then the number is greater than 1. When the denominator is greater the numerator, then the number is less than 1.
3/5 is 3 divided by 5
oh
we can count c out because it is 0.375
D is 0.375. Not C
i did 3/8
Yeah, that's answer choice D
omg oops
We can eliminate another one. Which one is greater than 1. It has a bigger numerator than a denominator.
we can eliminate B
\(\Large\frac {numerator}{denominator}\) No, be careful
but I would think C 625 would be the answer
That is the answer. We could eliminate b because it is less than 3/5. We could eliminate a because it is greater than 1.
0.6 ______ 5| 3.0 3.0 -------- 0 That's how we do 3/5, in case you were wondering!
Okay, thanks! :)
It was my pleasure!

Haha, practice makes perfect. Once you do enough fractions, you'll be able to glance and tell that 5/9 = 0.55555, and 3/8 = 0.375, and 5/8 is 0.625. Also, medals don't necessarily always come from answering questions. Sometimes, the helper medals the asker because they participated in the discussion.
