The best way to compare fractions would be to make them have like denominators.  We first , in this case, need to convert from decimal to fraction. 

                 Converting decimals to fractions first requires an understanding of the decimal places that fall after the decimal.  One place after the decimal is the tenths place.  If you have a decimal that ends at one place after the decimal (or in the tenths place) it can be written as the number after the decimal in the top of the fraction and ten (tenths place) in the denominator.  ex.   .5 ends one place after the decimal and can be written as 5/10...(read as five tenths).

If a decimal ends at two places after the decimal...(ex.   .75)...it ends in the hundredths place, can be written as that number in the numerator and 100 in the denominator....(ex  75/100) and is read as seventy-five hundredths. 

one place after the decimal is tenths (over 10), two places is hundredths (over 100), three places is thousandths (over 1000) , four places ten-thousandths (over 10000) and so on.

Because each decimal in your problem has a different amount of decimal places, it makes for different denominators. But, We can add a zero to the end of a decimal without changing it's value; if we add a zero to the end of .5 and make it .50 , we then can write it as 50/100 and would now have like denominators.

if .5 = .50 = 50/100 and .75 = 75/100

we now have the question what fractions can fall between 50/100 and 75/100. 

That would be fractions such as 51/100, 52/100, 53/100.......74/100.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

  1. <u>Quantitative.</u>
  2. <u>Discrete.</u>
  3. <u>Interval Scale.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The IQ scores are measured numerically. This makes it quantitative data. Quantitative data provide numerical measures which can be used to perform arithmetric operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Results from these kind of data can be used to provide meaningful and explanatory results to certain phenomena.
  2. IQ scores are discrete because they are always expressed as integers. that is in whole numbers and not in fractions e.g 100, 120, 60.
  3. The level of measurement is on an interval scale because the difference between values have meanings. Larger values mean higher IQ. for example, the difference in IQ numbers between two people for represents something real.

If an elevator travels 5 stories every 6 seconds, how many stories does it travel in 24 seconds?
Rufina [12.5K]
Divide 24 by 6 in order to see how many six second intervals there are. 24/6=4. Multiply 4x5 to show many stories the elevator travels. The answer will be 20 stories.

Whitepunk [10]
Nadia Is correct I believe, Because if a pizza is cut into 8 slices each slice is going to be smaller. but if it were to be cut into fourths it would be bigger. They are indeed equivalent but still never the same in size.
