1/6 is greater than 1/8, because when you change the fractions 1/6 will be 4/24 but 1/8 will be 3/24. To change the fractions you first have to find the lowest number that both denominators can go in, so it is 24. 6 can go into 24 four times, so you multiply the numerator by 4 making 1/6 4/24. 8 can go into 24 three times, so you multiply the numerator by 3 so 1/8 = 3/24.

Because 1/6 is closer to a whole and if you cut a pie into 8 slices and get 1 slice of the 8 it is smaller than 6 pieces cut and get 1 of the 6 and the pieces will be bigger

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$9\sqrt{3}$ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{s^{2} \sqrt{3} }{4}$ (s = length of the side)

area = $\frac{6^{2}\sqrt{3} }{4}$

area = $\frac{36\sqrt{3} }{4}$

area = $9\sqrt{3}$ cm^2

Caleb is making lemonade and cookies for the school bake sale. He has 10 cups of

Goryan [66]

Answer:

He can make only one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by mental math you can say he can make maximum one batch of cookies.

Total sugar = 10 cups

sugar used for lemonade = 2 cups

leftover sugar = 8 cups

For 1 batch of cookie sugar needed = 11/2

which means 5 and 1/2 cups

And he's just left with 8 cups of sugar after lemonade

8 - 5 1/2 = 2 1/2 which is not enough for 2nd batch

That means the maximum number of cookies batches is 1.

Another way to solve it by inequality:

2+Il/2 X <u><</u> 10

11/2 X <u><</u> 8

11X <u><</u> 16

X <u><</u> 1 6/11

So he can make only one batch of cookies.
