Why is 1/8 smaller than 1/3

1/8, or 0.125, is smaller than 1/3, or 0.333..., because they have the same numerator, but they are divided into different parts.

Maybe it is easier to see with a common denominator (just multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by a number, so that they have equal denominators and are easier to compare):

As you might know, 3/24 is smaller than 8/24. Therefore, their equivalent expressions, (1/8 and 1/3), follow the same rule.

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
