why does it take 10 copies of 1 sixth to make the same amount as 5 copies of 1 third?

Sagot :

This is because (1/3) = (2/6). 10 copies of (1/6) = (10/6) and 5 copies of (2/6) = (10/6) too. (1/3) is just the most simplified form for (2/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

It take 10 copies of 1 sixth to make the same amount as 5 copies of 1 third.

Amount of work in case of 10 copies of 1 sixth is given by

[tex]\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Amount of work in case of 5 copies of 1 third is given by

[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

since both the amount of work is same.

Hence, they are same.
