Yes.
If you take two things that are EXACTLY the same size and you then cut one into 6 pieces and the other into 8 pieces, the pieces from the '6' cutting will be larger than the pieces from the '8' cutting (because there are less of them).
In both the 7/8 and 5/6 cases, only one piece from each is missing from the whole.
But as we know an '8' piece is smaller than a '6' piece then the remainder of the 7/8 must be bigger than the remainder of the 5/6.
One half. Although one sixth is greater - than one eighth.
no this is not
This can't be answered. One eighth is actually greater than one sixth.
Two eighths is the greater fraction.Two eighths is 0.25 where as one sixth is 0.16666... (recurring).
The answer is 48!!! okay okay
Did you know that i don't care
The greater the denominator the smaller its value. Since eight is greater than six the value of 1eighth is lesser than 1 sixth. Another way of saying, 1 eighth is nothing but dividing 1 into eight equal parts and 1 sixth is dividing into six equal parts. Obviously the 1 sixth part will be greater than one eighth. For eg. if you share a cake equally with eight friends, the slice be will smaller than when you share equally with six friends.
theyre the same. -.-
5/6 is greater.And the correct spelling is ninths, not nineths.
eighth and sixth
Five of anything is generally greater than one of them.
5 and 1/6
