When two fractions refer to the same whole. explain why the fraction with a lesser denominator has larger piecesthan the fraction with a greater denominator?

Let's say for example I have 2 pizzas.

I cut one into two halves and the other into eight eighths.

i'll take half from each pizza, meaning i have 1/2 slices of one and 4/8 slice of the other. the fraction with a lower denominator, in this case 1/2, has larger pieces because it is dived into less pieces than the fraction with a larger denominator.

 One slice of the first pizza would be bigger than one slice from the second.

Hope this helped!

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
