-12 has a greater absolute value (magnitude) than -2 has.
But -2 is greater (more positive) than -12, and -12 is less (less positive) than -2 .
no one twelfth smaller 1/2 x 6/6 = 6/12 6/12 - 5/12 = 1/12
Ten times smaller.
No. one half =6/12 which is smaller than 7/12
12. Call the smaller of the two consecutive even integers x and the larger y, and represent their relationship as x + 2 = y. The smaller of the two integers is 5 more than half the greater, which you can represent as x = y/2 + 5. Solving these two equations together gives you an x of 12 and a y of 14. Testing, we confirm that 12 is 5 more than half of 14, or 7.
it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25
