Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.

Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.

To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.

9/15 - 5/15

Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.

This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.

Which are the solutions of x2 = -5x + 8?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25, -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77, -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.

The distance between Columbus,Ohio and New York City is about 560 miles how many hours would it take the train to travel between

sergey [27]

Since the distance is 560 miles and the bus goes 268 miles per hour, the answer can be given as:
If 268=1 hour
560=?
560/268*1 hour =2(rounded to nearest ones)
Therefore it will take the train approximately 2 hours to travel between both cities.

Given n//p m<2=50 degrees what is m<7?

Bogdan [553]

Answer: m∠7=130°

Step-by-step explanation:

If two parallel lines are cut by another line (transversal), each one will have four angles surrounding the intersection.

By definition, the adjacent angles of each parallel line, are supplementary, this means that they add up 180°.

Then, if m∠2=50°, then m∠3 is:

m∠3 $=180-50=130$ °

By definition, the angles that are in the same relative position are know as corresponding angles and they are congruent.

Therefore:

m∠3=m∠7

m∠7=130°
