Answer:

Lynn was correct because multiplicative factor 5/2 is greater than 1 or the the product is 2 which is greater than 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lynn says that the product of 4/5 and 5/2 is greater than 4/5.

We know that if numerator is less that the denominator, then the value of fraction is less than 1.

$\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{5}{2}>1$

Product of 4/5 and 5/2 is

$\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{2}=2$

2 is greater than 4/5. So, Lynn was correct.

If a positive number multiplied by a factor greater than 1, then the product will be larger than the original number.

In the given problem, original number is 4/5 and the multiplicative factor is 5/2.

Lynn was correct because multiplicative factor 5/2 is greater than 1.

Answer:

g(x) = 3.5^x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

because g(0) = 3.5^0-2 = -1 and g(1) = 3.5^1-2 = 1.5

you know that g(x) = y and when x=0 y=-1 on the graph

and when x=1 y=1.5

The pitcher for the Robins throws a baseball at 90.0 miles per hour. The pitcher on the Bluebirds throws a baseball 112.2 feet p

Margaret [11]

The pitcher for the Robin's throws faster. You know this because you can multiply 112.2 by 60 seconds to equal one minute. You want to get equal minutes, so multiply the answer of 112.2 x 60(6,732) by 60 once again to equal one hour, or sixty minutes. The answer you get(403,920), you divide by 5280 since there are 5280 feet in one mile. You should see that the Bluebird's pitcher throws 76.5 mph which s slower than the Robin's.

Noralie is making a necklace using a total of 48 beads. All of the beads will be either blue or yellow. She plans to use 1/3 as

Morgarella [4.7K]

Since there are a total of 48 beads and each bead will either be blue or yellow, in order to find out how many of each colour bead she will use, do the following:

Divide 48 by 3 to get 16 yellow beads.

Now that you know how many yellow beads there are, just subtract that from 48:
48 - 16 = 32

Therefore, she will use 16 yellow beads and 32 blue beads.
