Which fraction is bigger five over twelve or three over eight?
five over twelve is bigger than three over eight
Is 3 quarter larger then 5 eights?
Yes, three quarters is larger than five eights because three quarters is equivalent to six eighths.
Is a number over 500 greater than a number over 5000?
That depends, if you are talking about anything between 501-5000 it isn't larger than 5000 but if you are talking about something from 5001 to infinity then it's larger 5000. My answer is not necessarily. When talking about fractions, one five-hundredth (1/500) is larger than one five-thousandth (1/5000); in fact one five-hundredth (1/500) = ten five-thousandths (10/5000). So the same number as the numerator over 500 represents a larger fraction than the same number as the numerator over 5000; however, 11 over 5000 (11/5000) represents a larger fraction than 1 over 500 (1/500) since, as noted above, 1/500 = 10/5000, and 10/5000 < 11/5000.
The sum of two numbers is fifteen. Three less than five times the smaller is equal to the larger.?
The numbers are: 3 and 12
Is the fraction 1 over 2 more than 3 over 5?
No, because one half is equal to 50% and three fifths is equal to 60%. This is because five times twenty is 100, (for one half, this is fifty times TWO) so then, if you multiply the denominator, you absolutely positively have to multiply the numerator. One half of five is 2.5, so, of course, 3 is larger than 2.5. Thus, 2/5 IS larger than one half.
