Arrange these numbers in order from least to greatest: 3/2, 0, -1, 2/3

Mathematics

Scrat [10]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

-1, 0, 2/3, 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So the negative number goes first, Then zero.

So to find if a fraction is bigger you can pick 100 to multiply the fractions by 100 and see which one is greater.

$\frac{3}{2}*100$

3 * 50 = 150

$\frac{2}{3} *100$

2 * 33.3 = 66.6

So since 2/3 is less than 3/2 it goes first.

-1, 0, 2/3, 3/2

chloe has 42 oranges 24 apples and 18 bananas to put into fruit baskets each fruit will be divided equally so each basket will h

Nimfa-mama [501]

We want to calculate the number of baskets to which chloe can make.

Note that we have 42 oranges, 24 apples and 18 bananas, and since we are splitting them into the number of baskets, it must happen that the each number is a multiple of the number of baskets.

We will check each option to find out if the numbers are a multiple of the number. Then we will take the greatest to number to which all of them are a multiple.

Case 2: Note that 42= 21*2, 24=12*2 and 18 = 9*2 so all of them are multiples of 2.

So, so far the greatest number is 2.

Case 3:

Note that 42 = 3*14, 24 = 8*3 and 18 = 6*3. So all of them are multiples of 3.

So, so far the greatest number is 3.

Case 6:

Note that 42 = 6*7, 24 = 6*4 and 18 = 6*3. So all of them are multiples of 3. So, so far the greatest number is 6.

Case 8:

Note that 24=8*3. But neither 18 o 42 are multiples of 8. So, this can't be an option.

So, this means that the most number of fruit baskets Chole can make is 6, since 6 divides evenly all three numbers (42,24 and 18)

When Judy worked 4 hours and Ben worked 1 hour, their combined pay was $75. When Judy worked 2 hours and Ben worked 6 hours, the

arsen [322]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

let the hourly rate of pay for Ben = B

let the hourly rate of pay for Judy = J

Judy worked 4 hours and Ben worked 1 hour, their combined pay was $75;

4J + B = 75 ----- i

Judy worked 2 hours and Ben worked 6 hours, their combined pay was $120

2J + 6B = 120 --- ii

Now, we should solve the expression;

Multiply equation ii by 2 and equation i by 1;

4J + B = 75 ----- i x 1 ; 4J + B = 75 -- iii

2J + 6B = 120 --- ii x 2 ; 4J + 12B = 240 ---iv

Now,

equation iv - iii;

11B = 165

B = $15

So, solving for J;

4J + B = 75

4J + 15 = 75

4J = 75 - 15 = 60

J = $15

The two largest lizards in the united states are the gila monster and the chuckwalla. The average gila monster is 0.608 meter lo

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Gila Monster is 1.54 times that of Chuckwalla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average Length of Gila Monster = 0.608 m

Average Length of Chuckwalla = 0.395 m

We need to find the number of times the Gila monster is as the Chuckwalla.

Solution:

Now we know that;

To find the number of times the Gila monster is as the Chuckwalla we will divide the Average Length of Gila Monster by Average Length of Chuckwalla.

framing in equation form we get;

number of times the Gila monster is as the Chuckwalla = $\frac{0.608}{0.395} = 1.5392$

Rounding to nearest hundredth's we get;

number of times the Gila monster is as the Chuckwalla = 1.54

Hence Gila Monster is 1.54 times that of Chuckwalla.
