Which inequality is true 1.5 > 2 1/2, 1/2 > 0.5, -2.5 > -1.5, -3 1/2 > - 4.5

yawa3891 [41]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

(A. 1.5 > 2 1/2

(B. 1/2 > 0.5

(C. -2.5 > -1.5

(D. -3 1/2 > - 4.5

Step 1: Convert everything to decimals or fractions so its easier to see and make it less likely to get the question wrong

Method #1: Fractions

1.5= 1 1/2

0.5= 1/2

-2.5= - 2 1/2

-1.5= - 1 1/2

-4.5= -4 1/2

Now we have:

(A. 1 1/2 > 2 1/2 --> This is wrong because 1 1/2 is supposed to be less than 2 1/2.

(B. 1/2 > 1/2 This is also wrong. 1/2 is equal to 1/2; they are obviously the same.

(C. -2 1/2 > -1 1/2 This is wrong because, in negative numbers, its sort of backwards. For example, -2 is actually less than -1 because its farther away from 0. But if they were normal positive numbers, 2 would be bigger. But here, -2 1/2 is less than -1 1/2.

(D. -3 1/2 > - 4 1/2 This is correct. -3 1/2 is closer to 0 than -4 1/2, so it has to be bigger.

Solving the problem this way gets me to: Answer= D

Method #2: Decimals (remember: same numbers, different way of writing them!!!)

(A. 1.5 > 2.5 False. 1.5 is less than 2.5

(B. 0.5 > 0.5 False. 0.5 is equal to 0.5

(C. -2.5 > -1.5 False. -2.5 is farther away from 0 so its actually smaller.

(D. -3.5 > - 4.5 True. -3.5 is closer to 0.

Doing it this way also leads me to Answer= D.

Hope this helps :)) Also can i please have brainiest? I worked pretty hard on this :D

The figure below shows a tent with wires attached to help stabilize it. The length of each wire is 8 feet greater than the dista

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The length of 2 wires are 13 feet and 12 feet [i don't know if the 3rd side is a wire, if so, the length is 5 feet]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The image of the tent is attached.</em>

<em />

As we can see, it creates a right triangle with "x+8" side being the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The pythagorean theorem tells us:

Hypotenuse^2 = Leg^2 + Leg^2

THe hypotenuse is "x+8", the two legs are "x" and "x+7" respectively. Let's solve for x:

$(x+8)^2=(x+7)^2+x^2$

We expand and solve for x:

$(x+8)^2=(x+7)^2+x^2\\x^2+16x+64=x^2+14x+49+x^2\\x^2+16x+64=2x^2+14x+49\\x^2-2x-15=0\\(x-5)(x+3)=0\\x=5,-3$

Length can't be negative, so x = 5.

Hence, the 3 sides of the triangle are:

x = 5

x + 8 = 13

x + 7 = 12

The length of 2 wires are 13 feet and 12 feet
