Heyo Kiddo. How are you doing today? Let's figure this out!

So, we should covert each fraction so that they have a common denominator. 
Observe. 

\frac{1}{4} =  \frac{4}{20} 


\frac{2}{5} =  \frac{8}{20}

So which one is larger?
We can see that indefinitely 2/5 = 8/20 is the larger of the two fraction given.

You're welcome.

This is easier if we change these fractions into decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/5 = 0.40


It is obvious from the decimals that 2/5 is bigger.


Good Luck! <3

For the inverse variation equation xy = k, what is the constant of variation, k, when x = 7 and y = 3? 3/7 7/3 10 21
Elza [17]
Hello there,

So by using the formula xy=k just plug in both x and y.

So this would be (7)(3)=k

Which means 21=k

Hope this helped!

Find x if y=-2 4x-6/y=15a. 9/2b.5c.3d.-6/23
GalinKa [24]
X means everything in algebra. It is a variable, which means that its meaning changes based on context. For example, x could be time, but it could also be cars. x is what all Mathematicians chase after and it is also the greatest tool at their disposal. x is generally called an independent variable because its value determines the output of a function. y, on the other hand, is the result of fooling around with x. It's a dependent variable, which means that y changes when x changes. 

Take, for instance, the following function: 
y = x + 3 

Let's set x = 3. 
y = (3) + 3 
y = 6 

As you can see, what we input as x determines what y outputs.
