Jada has 1/4
cup of juice. Her sister has 2/3 cup of juice. Jada adds the
amount and says that together they have of a 3/7 cup of juice. Which
comparison explains why Jada answer is not correct?
A. Because
3/7>2/3
B. Because
3/7<2/3
C. Because
2/3<1/4
D. Because
1/4>3/7

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/3 is larger than 3/7, you don't even need to add the two numbers and you already know that it is not going to make sense.

2/3 > 3/7

1/4 + 2/3 > 3/7

Then that way, when you find the sum, it is automatically not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
