Explain two ways on how 5/6 is greater then 2/3

here's 3 approaches...

I: If you convert them into the same denominator (via 2/3 = 4/6) you can show that 5/6 > 4/6 since 5>4.

II: Multiply both by 6, and you get 5 > 4.

III: Convert both to decimal notation, 0.83333... > 0.66666...

1. 5/6 as a decimal is 0.83 repeating and 2/3 as a decimal is 0.6 repeating so 5/6 is greater.

2. With 6 as a common denominator, 2/3 = 4/6 so 5/6 is greater than 2/3.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
