X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x

1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20

2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2

Substitute into second equation

10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2

Substitute back in

b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2

End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x

Is 1/4 less than or greater than 1/8
lana66690 [7]
To find this answer, you need to find a common denominator. A common denominator is when the number on the bottom of two fractions is the same. The easiest was to do this is to first multiply the two denominators, then multiply the numerator (or top number) by the opposite denominator. This sounds complicated, but it's pretty simple. Here's the equation written out. (I hope this helps!)

4*8 = denominator for both numbers.

8*1 = numerator for the first number

4*1 = numerator for the second number.

This should give you the fractions with common denominators, 8/32 and 4/32. Then, to compare the fractions, just see which numerator is larger. In this case, 8 is larger than 1 which shows that 1/4 is greater than 1/8.

I hope this made sense. There's more than one way to solve these problems, so comment below if you would like me to explain it differently and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!  :)

For part (a), we know that 6/60 pupils wear glasses. We also know that there are 360 degrees in the pie chart. So the angles for people who wear glasses must be (6/60)*360. 6/60 simplifies to 1/10, and a tenth of 360 equals 36. So the angle must be 36 degrees. To find the other angle, simply subtract 36 from 360 degrees to get 324 degrees.
For part (b), it is not possible to tell because all 6 pupils who wear glasses could be girls, they could all be boys, some girls and some boys, etc.  We cannot know which one it is, given only that much information.
Hope this helps!
