Compare order fractions and decimals please help!?

Dood! Your teacher's not an expletive, that's how learning math works! And I think you'll enjoy it more if you understand it better.

So work it out step by step, get in a good groove, maybe put on some good tunes (as long as they're not too distracting...) Ilse has it right. Allow me, if you will, to expand it. Here's a little thinking aloud: 2/3 and 3/4 need the same denominator so that you can compare.

Otherwise, all you can say at a glance is that they both represent most of the pie. Which one's bigger? Let's find out.

If you multiply the two denominators, you'll always get a common denominator that you can work with. So in this case, that's 3 times 4, which gives 12. How do you get the 2/3 to have a denominator of 12?

Multiply it by 4--in the method we're using, always use the denominator you start out with in the other fraction. But you can't just multiply the denominator by 4--you'd end up with 2/12, which is not the same as 2/3. I'd rather have 2/3 of a pie than 2/12, even if that much pie will make me sick =) No, you have to multiply BOTH top and bottom by 4, since that's multiplying by 4/4, which is 1, which won't change the value of your fraction.

Quick steps: So again, we want to multiply both top and bottom of 2/3 by the denominator of the other fraction, in this case 4. Like this: 2 x 4 -------- 3 x 4.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
