Answer:
3/2 is greater than 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A little trick to immediately know if a number is more or less than when it involves fractions versus whole numbers is that improper fractions will always be greater than 1.
If you want to confirm this, dividing 3/2 equals 1.5, ergo 1.5 > 1.
In essence, improper fractions will always represent a number greater than one contrasted to proper fractions because if you put it on a perspective (let's say you have 13 pie slices but you only needed 12, that means there is a pie slice that's extra that makes it greater than the original pie slices).
Hope that helps :)
Set measurements equal to each other.
7X + 20 = 8X + 8
-7X -7X
20 = X + 8
-8 -8
ANSWER: X=12

Slope: 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
height = 5b-2
b =x
We can rewrite the height as
h = 5x-2
We know the formula for area of a triangle
A = 1/2 bh
A =1/2 x * (5x-2)
Distributing the x
A= 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
We know A =12
12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
Multiply each side by 2
12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)
24 = 5x^2 - 2x
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24
0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24
He can give at most 2 adult haircuts with the remaining time
<h3>How many adult haircuts at most can he give with the remaining time? </h3>
The inequality is given as:
0.75C + 1.25A <= 7
Also, we have
C = 5
Substitute C = 5 in 0.75C + 1.25A <= 7
0.75 * 5 + 1.25A <= 7
Evaluate the product
3.75 + 1.25A <= 7
Evaluate the like terms
1.25A <= 3.25
Divide by 1.25
A <= 2.6
Rewrite as
A < 3
Hence, he can give at most 2 adult haircuts with the remaining time
