<h3>Answer: E) 1/5</h3>

========================================================

Method 1

Use your calculator to find the decimal version of each fraction

4/10 = 0.40
12/25 = 0.48
14/20 = 0.70
28/50 = 0.56
1/5 = 0.20

We see that 0.20 is the smallest decimal of the list, so 1/5 is the smallest fraction of the list.

----------------------------

Method 2

To compare fractions, we need to get all of the denominators to the same value. A good target is the lowest common denominator (LCD)

In this case, the LCD is 100

4/10 = 40/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 10
12/25 = 48/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 4
14/20 = 70/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 5
28/50 = 56/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 2
1/5 = 20/100 .... multiply top and bottom by 20

The last fraction has the smallest denominator, so 1/5 is the smallest.

Two sides of a triangle measure 5 in. and 12 in. Which could be the length of the third side?

Airida [17]

Answer: 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use Pythagorean theorem:

5x5+12x12=c

5x5=25

12x12=144

Now, 25+144=169

Now find the square root of 169 which is 13 which isn't an answer choice, which means your prolly after a leg.

I assume 12 is the hypotenuse

A(squared)+5x5=12x12

A+25=144

144-25=119

Square root of 119=10.9

So I'm going to go with answer 10 in or 11 if you round.

Answer:

$x=18,y=6$ , graph is there for reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$x$ is the number of math problem Lucy solved.

$y$ is the number of pages she read.

She can do each math problem in $5$ minutes, therefore she can solve $x$ number of questions into $5 \times x=5x$ minutes.

She can read each page in $2.5$ minutes, therefore she can read $y$ pages in 2.5y minutes.

As per given detail,

$5x+2.5y=105$ equation 1.

And,

It is given that number of math problems Lucy solved is 3 times the number of pages she read.

$x=3y$ equation 2.

We need to find $x$ and $y$ intercept of each of the equation to graph them.

For $x-intercept$ put y=0

We will get $x=\frac{105}{5} =21$

Thus the point is $(21,0)$

Let us find $y-intercept$ by assuming $x=0$

we get $y=\frac{105}{2.5} =42$

Thus the point is $(42,0)$

Join these two points.

Similarly considering the other equation $x=3y$

Here x-intercept would be at $y=0$

We will get $x=0$

Thus the point is $(0,0)$

Let us assume on more point, say $x=30$ , we get $y=10$

Thus the point is $(30,10)$

Join these two points.

We will get a point of intersection at $(18,6)$

Thus $x=18$ and $y=6$
