Which is Larger?
1/2 + 1/6 or 1/4 + 7/12
1/2 + 1/6 or 1/4 + 7/12
First, lets turn the fractions into decimals.
1/2 = 0.5,
1/6 = 0.166~.
0.5 + 0.166~ = 0.66~
1/6 = 0.166~.
0.5 + 0.166~ = 0.66~
1/4 = 0.25,
7/12 = 0.5833~.
0.25 + 0.5833~ = 0.833~
7/12 = 0.5833~.
0.25 + 0.5833~ = 0.833~
now just compare the decimals.
0.66~ or 0.833~
0.66~ or 0.833~
Obviously 0.833~ is larger.
So, 1/4 + 7/12 is Larger than 1/2 + 1/6.
So, 1/4 + 7/12 is Larger than 1/2 + 1/6.
PS: The ~ sign means repeated.
