Reduce 35/100 to 7/20 by dividing both sides by 5.

2/5 is bigger than 7/20.

2/5 > 7/20 or 2/5 > 35/100 if you leave it unsimplified

Hope this helps :)

Remark

The first thing to do is to find the value of each fraction in decimal form. Then you can compare them.

Solution

You can get these numbers using your calculator.

2/5 = 0.40 Your calculator may say it is 0.4, but you should add the zero so that the two factions can be compared.

35/100 = 0.35

Now which one is bigger? Think money. Which would you rather have: 40 cents or 35 cents? You should answer 40 cents.

Since 40 > 35

Therefore 0.40> 0.35

And 2/5 > 35/100

HELP ME QUICK PLEASEEEE solve for x: 2/x-2+7/x^2-4=5/x

Anna35 [415]

$\displaystyle\\\\\frac{2}{x-2}+\frac{7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{^{x+2)}2~~~~~}{x-2}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2(x+2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}+\frac{7}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+4+7}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\\frac{2x+11}{x^2-4}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\5(x^2-4)=x(2x+11)\\\\5x^2-20=2x^2+11x\\\\5x^2-2x^2 -11x-20=0$

$\displaystyle\\3x^2-11x-20=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+4\cdot3\cdot20}}{2\cdot3}=\\\\=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{121+240}}{6}=\frac{11\pm\sqrt{361 }}{6}=\frac{11\pm19}{6}\\\\x_1=\frac{11-19}{6}=\frac{-8}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_1=-\frac{4}{3}}\\\\x_2=\frac{11+19}{6}=\frac{30}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf x_2=5}$

Question 7: please help. I will give brainliest to correct answer.

liq [111]

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:w

standard deviation = ( p(1-p) / n)1/2

p= sample proportion= 55%

n= sample size = 900

standard deviation = ( [55/100] [ 1- 55/100]) / 900)1/2

= (0.55*0.45 / 900)1/2

= 0.0165

margin of error = critical value*standard deviation

[ from graph critical value = 2]

margin of error = 2*0.0165=0.033

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle? Here the number of animals and the number of days are in inverse proportion. Hence the food will last 4 days.
