Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
  = 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

Look for a pattern for the decimal 0.555, the value of the digit in the tenths place is how many times as munch as the value of
Galina-37 [17]
<span>the value of the digit in the tenths place is 5/10 or 0.5
</span>
the value of the digit in the thousandth place is 5/1000 = 0.005

0.5 = 100 x 0.005

Therefore, the value of the digit in the tenths place is 100 times as much as the value of the digit in the thousandth place

a bird is flying at a true bearing of 75 degree's at a speed of 40 miles per hour. Write the velocity of the bird as a vector in
Allisa [31]

Answer: V = (10.4 mph, 38.6 mph)

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity is written as (vx, vy)

where vx is the component of the velocity in the x-axis and vy is the component of the velocity in the y-axis.

In usual notation, the angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.

We know that the angle is 75°, this means that the velocity in the x-axis will be equal to the total velocity of the bird projected in the x-axis (suppose a triangle rectangle, where the velocity is the hypotenuse, the x component is a cathetus and the y component is other cathetus)

vx = 40mph*cos(75°) = 10.4 mph

vy = 40mph*sin(75°) = 38.6mph

Then the vector of velocity is V = (10.4 mph, 38.6 mph)

The school chorus has 52 students which represents 26% of the seventh graders. How many students are in the seventh grade
barxatty [35]

Answer:

There are 200 students in the seventh grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

For equations like these, you have to use the is/of formula, which is:

Percent/100 = is/of.

Since you are trying to find how many students are in the seventh grade, this means that 52 <u><em>is</em></u> 26% of the total amount of students in the seventh grade. So, the formula would look like so:

26/100 = 52/n.

Next, you have to cross multiply, which means you would multiply 26 by n, and 52 by 100.

Then, you are going to have this left over from the cross multiplying:

5200 = 26n.

Divide 26 on both sides, leaving you with:

1n = 200, or n = 200.
