Pedro fills a glass 2/4 full with orange juice. Write a fraction with a denominator of 6 that us greater than 2/4. (Please show me how you found it)

Respuesta :

ok...so 2/4 = 1/2 or 0.5.....and u want a fraction with a denominator of 6 greater then this...

3/6 is not greater, it is equal....so try 4/6.......4/6 = 0.66....so it is greater then 2/4 and has a denominator of 6

Answer:

[tex]\frac{4}{6}\ is\ greater\ than \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Pedro fills a glass [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] full with orange juice.

Now [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] is written in the decimal form .

[tex]\frac{2}{4} = 0.5[/tex]

Now find out  a fraction with a denominator of 6 that us greater than  [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] .

First take

[tex]\frac{1}{6} = 0.16\ (Approx)[/tex]

Thus

[tex]Clearly \frac{1}{6}\ less\ than\ \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

Sceond take

[tex]\frac{2}{6} = 0.33[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\frac{2}{6}\ less\ than\ \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

[tex]Clearly \frac{2}{6}\ less\ than\ \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

Third take

[tex]\frac{3}{6} = 0.5[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\frac{3}{6}\ is\ equal\ to \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

Fourth take

[tex]\frac{4}{6} = 0.66\ (Approx)[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\frac{4}{6}\ is\ greater\ than \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]

Therefore [tex]\frac{4}{6}\ is\ greater\ than \frac{2}{4}.[/tex]
