The correct answer is: True (2/3 is greater than 2/6)

Explanation:

Method-1 (Instant solution):

This is a shortcut method in which we look at the numerators and denominators of both fractions and compare them with each other.

Case-1: If the number of first fraction in numerator is greater than the number of the second fraction in numerator, and the denominators of both fractions are the same, then we can say that the first fraction is greater than the second fraction.

Case-2: If the number of first fraction in denominator is smaller than the number of the second fraction in denominator, and the numerators of both fractions are the same, then we can say that the first fraction is greater than the second fraction.

Here in this question, the numerators of both fractions are same, i.e. 2, hence it is the Case-2. The first fraction 2/3 has the denominator 3 and the second fraction 2/6 has the denominator 6, and 3 < 6; therefore, we can say that 2/3 is greater than 2/6.

Method-2 (Mathematical):

Subtract the second fraction from the first, and see whether the answer is negative or not. If the answer is negative, the first fraction will be smaller than the second fraction, otherwise, the first fraction will be greater than the other fraction.

First fraction: 2/3

Second fraction 2/6

Subtract:

(2/3) - (2/6) = (4-2)/6 = 2/6 = +1/3

As the answer is POSITIVE, we can say that the first fraction is indeed greater than the second fraction.

You are at a restaurant and your bill comes to $31.18. The sales tax is 6% and you give the waitress a 20 percent tip on the tot

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$ 0.34 or 34 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill amount = $31.18

sales tax = 6% of $31.18

= 0.06 ($31.18)

= $1.8708

Bill with tax = $31.18+$1.8708

= $33.0508

value of tip = 20% of 33.0508

= 6.61016

Total payment = 33.0508+ 6.61016

= $39.66096

or $39.66

We get change of $40 - $39.66

= $ 0.34

We shall get back in cents that will be 34 cents

As a follow-up to a report on gas consumption, a consumer group conducted a study of SUV owners to estimate the mean mileage f

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean highway mileage for SUVs is (18.29mpg, 20.91mpg).

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 96.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 96-1 = 95$

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 95 and 0.025 in the t-distribution table, we have $T = 1.9855$ .

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

$s = \frac{5.6}{\sqrt{96}} = 0.57$

Now, we multiply T and s

$M = T*s = 1.9855*0.57 = 1.31$

For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the mean by M. So $19.6 - 1.31 = 18.29$

For the upper end of the interval, we add the mean to M. So $19.6 + 1.31 = 20.91$

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean highway mileage for SUVs is (18.29mpg, 20.91mpg).

An airplane is traveling in the direction 20 degrees west of north at 700 km/hr. Find the component form of the velocity of the

OLga [1]

Answer:

(-239.4, 657.8) km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Measured CCW from the +x axis, the angle at which the airplane is traveling is 110°. Then the (x, y) components of the velocity vector are ...

(700 km/h)(cos(110°), sin(110°)) ≈ (-239.4, 657.8) km/h
