Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, if you draw three lines in a circle, you can definitely create eight pieces. Each line you draw cuts the circle into two parts, so with three lines, you'll have eight pieces in total. It's like slicing a Pizza, but with geometry.

You did not specify if these are straight lines. If the lines are straight then no, only 7. If you curve the lines then, yes.

What is more 2 thirds or 3 fourths?

3/4 is larger than 2/3. 2/3 is equal to 0.67, and 3/4 is equal to 0.75Next Answer:To elaborate on the above,2/3 = 0.67 = 66.66%3/4 = 0.75 = 75%A calculator can show you this if you enter the numbers as follows:(2/3) x 100This will give you 66.666% as an answer. Basically you're saying "Two thirds of one hundred is 66.66 percent".You can see a visual representation of the two quantities by drawing two circles of the same size. Imagine they are pies (mmmm pie).- Circle A should be divided into 3 equal pie pieces (the Mercedes emblem is about the right shape for the lines you want to draw). Shade in 2 of the 3 pie pieces.- Circle B should be divided into 4 equal pie pieces (draw a big + in the middle). Shade in 3 of the 4 pie pieces.If you compare the two pies, you can see that 3/4 is a larger portion of the circle than 2/3. The person eating pie B is getting more food.Incidentally, this kind of circle drawing is called a "pie chart". :)
