Hmm

let's try some numbers

we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y

x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y

x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope

x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope


x-y is positive when 0>x>y

A weed called the raindrop vine is known for growing at a very fast rate.
Vinvika [58]

First, we need to convert 0.75 feet to inches.

0.75 feet = 9 inches

Now, we need to divide 9 by how many hours are in a day, which is 24.

9/24 = 0.375

The raindrop vine can grow up to 0.375 inches per hour.

What is the result of dividing the distance around a circle by the distance across the same circle? What number can you use as a
tekilochka [14]

Answer: The result of the division is the number pi.

And the approximation of pi is: pi = 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around a circle is called the perimeter of the circle.

The distance across a circle (This is a line that starts on one point of the circle, go through the center of the circle, and end in the next time it intersects the circle) is called the diameter of the circle.

The quotient between these two quantities is maybe one of the most famous numbers in the world, is the number pi, written as:

π = 3.14159265358979...

Is an irrational number, which means that the decimals keep going infinitely.

Then we can conclude that:

"The result of dividing the perimeter by the diameter, is equal to the number pi = π = 3.14159265358979..."

Because this is an irrational number and is actually impossible to write it, we usually use pi = 3.14 to aproximate it.
