Answer: 7/4 is greater

Step-by-step explanation: If you divide 7 by 4 you get 1.75. Then you divide 5 by 4 and you get 1.25. 1.75 is greater than 1.25. Also, if they have the same denominator, whichever has a higher numerator would be greater.

First off, 7/4 has more 4ths than 5/4 so that is greater, but second, you can convert the numbers into decimals, I can't remember how but by doing that you can have an easier way to compare them.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

Write the phrase as an expression. Then evaluate when y=20.

Answer:

$Q=\frac{40}{y-16}$

$Q=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quotient be represented by 'Q'.

Given:

The difference of a number 'y' and 16 is $y-16$

Quotient is the answer that we get on dividing two terms. Here, the first term is 40 and the second term is $y-16$ . So, we divide both these terms to get an expression for 'Q'.

The quotient of 40 and $y-16$ is given as:

$Q=\frac{40}{y-16}$

Now, we need to find the quotient when $y=20$ . Plug in 20 for 'y' in the above expression and evaluate the quotient 'Q'. This gives,
