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>

Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y r

kirill [66]

Answer:

x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40

Step-by-step explanation:

(hours) Dinghy Rowboat Labor Available

Metal Work 2 3 120

Painting 2 2 110

Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y represent the number of rowboats.

So, total hours for metal work = $2x+3y$

So, total hours for Painting = $2x+2y$

So, equation becomes:

$2x+3y\leq 120$

$2x+2y\leq 110$

$x\geq 0$

$y\geq 0$

Plot the inequalities

Refer the attached figure

So, the vertices of the feasible region are (0,40),(45,10) and (55,0)

So, x values are 0 , 45 and 55

x represents the number of dinghies

So, x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y values are 40,10,0

y represent the number of rowboats.

So, y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40

Can someone help me I need help with this question

malfutka [58]

To find the difference of 5 1/8 and 2 1/5 I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Therefore, I would have 41/8 - 11/5. Then, I would find a common denominator which would be 40. I would have 205/40 - 88/40 and I would end up with 117/40.

Can you please help me answer my question? I already asked it but it hasn't been answered. It is fro social studies: What were some accomplishments of Montezuma?
