Explain how you know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: To compare, all denominators must be the same. So, find the common denominator for 12,3&3, which is 12 (12x1=12, 3x4=12). Whatever you do for the bottom you must also do for the top. So, 7x1/12x1= 7/12, 1x4/3x4=4/12, and 2x4/3x4=8/12. Therefore 7/12 is greater than 1/3 (AKA 4/12) but less than 2/3 (AKA 8/12).
Answer 2
Answer: the denominators have to be the same that's the short way to say what she said

Find 30% of 26. I need help really bad.

Answers

To find a percentage of a number, you multiply the number by the decimal form of the percentage.  The decimal form of 30% is 0.3, so we multiply 26 by 0.3:

26 x 0.3 = 7.8

30% of 26 is 7.8
answer is 7.8 because if u use a claculator and do 30%*26 it will equal 7.8

I think it's

3.14*9*9*14=3,560.76

3,560.76/3=1,186.92 (3,052.1)

3.14*9*9*4=9,156.24

9,156.24 /3=3,052.08(3,052.1)

3,052.1+3,052.1=6104.2
