2. only one of the comparisons below is
incorrect. which is incorrect?
a1/4< 1/3
b3/8> 1/4. c5/6=7/8. d1/3< 2/5

C.  5/6  =  7/8  is an INCORRECT comparison.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given comparisons are:

A.  1/4  <  1/3

Solving the fraction,we get:

1/4 = 0.25 and 1/3 = 0.333

Also, 0.25 < 0.33

⇒   1/4  <  1/3  is a CORRECT comparison.

B.  3/8 > 1/4

Solving the fraction,we get:

3/8 = 0.375 and 1/4 = 0.25

Also, 0.375 > 0.25

⇒   3/8 >  1/4  is a CORRECT comparison.

C. 5/6  =  7/8

Solving the fraction,we get:

5/6 = 0.833 and 7/8 = 0.875

Also,0.833 ≠ 0.875

⇒   5/6  =  7/8  is an INCORRECT comparison.

D.  1/3  <  2/5

Solving the fraction,we get:

1/3 = 0.333 and 2/5 = 0.4

Also,0.333 < 0.4

⇒   1/3  <  2/5  is a CORRECT comparison.

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
