Which one is smaller 5/12 or 5/11?

Hi! I'm happy to help!

Fractions are wholes that are split up. When you split the whole into more pieces, the pieces are smaller.

Due to the fact that 5/12 is split into more pieces than 5/11, and they have the same amount of pieces, 5/11 would be larger because of bigger pieces.

5/11 is bigger because it has bigger pieces.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

-14

step-by-step explanation:

2x2 – 2(x+4)

=2x2-2（5+4）

=4-2×9

=4-18

=-14

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
