When two fractions are between 0 and 1/2, how do you know which fraction is greater? Explain

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Example- 1/3 or 1/5, which is larger? If you divide 1 by 3 the answer is 0.33 If you divide 1 by 5 it's 0.2. Since 0.33(1/3) is larger that would be the answer.
sorry if I make this confusing.
basically divide the top by the bottom to see which is larger. Then compare the fractions.
Answer 2
Answer: The are two ways of how you can tell which fraction is bigger than the other.
1. You can convert the fraction into a decimal. For example, 
1/3 = 1÷3=0.3333..
1/4 = 1÷4=0.25
The fraction are between 0 and 1/2. It can be seen that 1/3 > 1/4.

2. Making the to have the same denominator.  For example,
1/3 and 1/4
The lcm of 3 and 4 is 12. So, we can make the 2 fractions to have the same denominater which is 12.
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
Since the dinominator is the same, we can compare the fraction by considering the numerator. 
4 > 3, so, 1/3 > 1/4

4 feet

if you wante to do (4)/( (1)/(3) )
try to make bottom number=1
1/3 times 3/1=3/3=1
multiply the whole thing by ( (3)/(1) )/( (3)/(1) )

(4*3)/( (3)/(3) )
(12)/( 1)

12
Okay, I would multiply 4 times 12 since there is 12 inches in a foot and then divide it by 3.  which the answer would be 16 inches.

In the United States, the point of lowest elevation is 282 ft below sea level (Death Valley, California) and the point of highest elevation is 20,320 ft above sea level (Mount McKinley, Alaska). What is the distance between these two points?

Answers

Answer:

20,602 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in the United States, the point of lowest elevation is 282 ft below sea level (Death Valley, California) and the point of highest elevation is 20,320 ft above sea level (Mount McKinley, Alaska).  

To find the distance between the given points, we will subtract the lowest elevation from the highest elevation as:

\text{Distance between two points}=20,320-(-282)

\text{Distance between two points}=20,320+282

\text{Distance between two points}=20,602

Therefore, the distance between these points is 20,602 feet.

It's 20,602ft because its -282 (because its below sea level) and positive 20,320 (above sea level). So the distance between the two is 20,602 ft.
