Robert's Skills Scribe

Monday, April 13, 2009
In skills class, Mr. Backe asked us two questions
they are:

Is 2/3 and 4/6 different or the same?how?
(Explain in two different ways)
Is 1/8 and 1/4 the same?
(Explain in two different ways)


1. Is 2/3 and 4/6 different or the same? how?

Both numbers are the same because if you convert them into a percentage they would be the same.
Like this:

2/3 = 66%



4/6= 66%

We could also convert them into decimal to prove that they are the same.

2/3= 0.66


4/6=0.66

By this it shows that they are the same.


2. Is 1/8 and 1/4 the same?

No, they're not.

1/8=0.125

1/4=0.25

By converting it by decimals it shows that it is not the same.
