3/5 is bigger because it has bigger numbers than 1/3
GuDViN [60]3 years ago

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.

find the margin of error to use for this sample mean sushi based on a sample of 35 people he average out of pieces of sushi a pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

{13.7756,18.2244}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample size, the margin of error can be calculated with the formula M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} where Z is the critical value for the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Therefore, our margin of error for a 90% confidence level is:

M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=1.645*(\frac{8}{\sqrt{35}})=2.2244

The formula for a confidence interval is CI=\bar{x}+M where x-bar is the sample mean. Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is:

CI=\bar{x}\pm[M]=16\pm2.2244={13.7756,18.2244}

Therefore, we are 90% confident that the true mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is contained within the interval {13.7756,18.2244}

Sam's van travels 208.8 miles on 9 gallons of gasoline. Hasan's small car travels 234.4 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline. What is
poizon [28]

Answer:

The difference between the vehicles is 0,009 gallons per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the difference between the vehicles in gallons per mile we need to obtain this information for each car:

-Sam´s van

  Gallons per mile: 9 gallons/208.8 miles

  Gallons per mile: 0.0431

-Hasan´s small car:

 Gallons per mile: 8 gallons/234.4 miles

 Gallons per mile: 0.0341

The difference between the vehicles is:

0.0431-0.0341= 0,009 gallons per mile

Describe in words the relationship between the length, width and height of a cuboid and its volume. ​
Sergio [31]

Volume = length * width * height

Each asterisk * refers to the multiplication symbol

The volume of the cube is equal to the length times width times height

---------------------

Example:

Consider a cube that has length, width and height each equal to 4 cm

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = (4 cm) * (4 cm) * (4 cm)

Volume = (4*4*4) cubic cm

Volume = 64 cubic cm

----------------------

Another example:

We have a rectangular prism that has the following dimensions

length = 4 ft

width = 3 ft

height = 5 ft

Computing the volume gets us:

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = (4 ft) * (3 ft) * (5 ft)

Volume = (4*3*5) cubic ft

Volume = 60 cubic ft

Is this statement true or false?

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A down payment is mostly for deposit reasons with insurance. It also let's the landlord know you will be moving in soon. They will use that money for repairs when you move out. You have a chance of getting it pack if they find no damages :D
