Answer:

<h2><em><u>-2 is greater than -2.5</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

B is wrong. This is because when you look on the number like you can see that the option for 1.5 is greater than one is false. This is because 1.5 is ahead of the 1 on the number line.

C is wrong. This is because the number 1 is greater than -1.5. The number one is ahead of the number -1.5.

D is wrong. D is wrong because when a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -1.5 is smaller than -0.5.

<em><u>So the answer is A. -2 is greater than -2.5. It can be proved because of the rule written that a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -2.5 is smaller than -2. And the reciprocal is true. -2 is larger than -2.5.</u></em>

Furkat [3]

For this example, we must combine not permutate; this because a salad in which you first use apple then tomato is the same as the one in which you use first tomato then apple, so order does not matter.

Me must do "10 combine 7" which is written by the binomial coefficient $(_{7} ^{10})$ ; in general a binomial coefficient is written by:
$(_{k} ^{n})= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

In which $n$ and $k$ are positive integers, such that $n\ \textgreater \ k$ .

So, for this problem:
$(_{7} ^{10})= \frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=\frac{10!}{7!3!}= \frac{10*9*8}{3*2}=10*3*4=120$

Hence, there are 120 different ways to make the fruit salad.
