  4/25 = 12/75

  4/25 is the greater fraction

__

b) The LCD is 5·11 = 55, so the fractions can be rewritten as ...

  2/5 = 22/55

  4/11 = 20/55

  2/5 is the greater fraction

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.

step-by-step explanation:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
