Answer:

The answer is -1 1/2 is less than -1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I look at it more as numbers, so for example 1/2 can be simplified into 50, and 3/4 is 75/ 75 would be greater if it was positive. But, with there being a negative 1 in front of the answer, the lowest number closest to 0 is better. :D

Answer: -1 1/2 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 1/2 is closer to zero and that makes it larger because they are negative numbers.

West and Company uses the LIFO method to calculate inventory values. Their beginning inventory consisted of 200 units at a cost

nirvana33 [79]

The total inventory is 200 + 300 + 400 + 100 = 1000. If 300 units remained, the we calculate the cost of the 700 sold via LIFO. These 700 units include the 100 units at $12.00, the 400 units at $11.00, and 200 units at $10.00 (out of the 300 purchased). This is a total cost of 100*12 + 400*11 + 200*10 = 1200 + 4400 + 2000 = $7600.

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$6 x^2*\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: $\frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}$

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures $x\sqrt{3}$ , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
