Why is 1-6 greater than 1-8 but less than 1-3?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Because when subtracting a larger number from a smaller number you end up with a negative number. The "higher" the negative number really means that it is a smaller value. Therefore -8 < -5 < -2
Answer 2
Answer: Buy 3 pies (or draw circles on paper)... Cut the pies (or draw lines in your circles) to evenly divide in 3, 6, 8.... Now take one slide from each out in a plate (or if you chose to draw, only colour in one slice).

Which looks bigger?



(It should be 1/3)

Basically, representing a number as a fraction represents a number (rank, odds, etc) out of a total number.
If you have 5 friends over. You could have 1/6 of pie (because you will have cut in 6 so that you and5 friends could have a slice). Whereas, if you only invited 2 friends, you could have 1/3 of the pie yourself (more pie ,remember that you cut the pie in 3 four you and 2 friends ).
Now try 1/2, 1/3, 1/4

If the Pr (A)=0.3 what is Pr (A’)

Answers

Answer:

0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume Pr is for Probability and A' is "not A" (complementary probability)

Pr(Anything)=1

Pr(A)=0.3

Pr(A')=1-Pr(A) (anything but A)

Pr(A')=1-0.3

Pr(A')=0.7

Answers

Chris is wrong. He added his 2 instead of carrying it. So the 2 came from when he was multiplying 6 x 4 (witch is 24). But the correct answer to that problem would be 648.
