4/7=.57

3/5=.6

.6 is bigger than .57 so 4/7 is smaller than 3/5

$\frac{4}{7}=\frac{4 \times 5}{7 \times 5}=\frac{20}{35} \\
\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3 \times 7}{5 \times 7}=\frac{21}{35} \\ \\
\frac{20}{35} < \frac{21}{35} \\ 
\Downarrow \\
\frac{4}{7} < \frac{3}{5}$

4/7 is smaller than 3/5.

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "70.56".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Loan requires, PV = $100,000

Years = 20

Number of months, n = 240

Rate interest = 4.90000%

Monthly rate, r = 0.408333%

Monthly rental payment = $725

As we know,

$PV=PMT\times (\frac{1}{r})\times [1-[\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}]]$

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒ $100000=PMT\times (\frac{1}{0.004083333})\times [1-(\frac{1}{(1+0.004083333^{240})})]$

⇒ $100000=PMT\times 152.8014557$

⇒ $PMT=\frac{100000}{152.8014557}$

⇒ $PMT=654.44$

Now,

$Saving \ Per \ Month =Rent \ per \ month-PMT$

On putting the values, we get

⇒ $=725-654.44$

⇒ $=70.56$

____ [38]

Answer:

$r=4\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$4\frac{5}{8} +r=9$

<u>Rewrite the expression to find the value of r:
</u>
$9-4\frac{5}{8}$

<u>Subtract by finding the common denominator:</u>
$9-4\frac{5}{8}$
$9=\frac{9}{1}$
$4\frac{5}{8} =8\times4=32+5=37=\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{9}{1} -\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{9}{1} \times8=\frac{72}{8}$
$\frac{37}{8} \times1=\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{72}{8} -\frac{37}{8}$
$72-37=35$
$=\frac{35}{8}$
$\frac{35}{8} =35\div8=4\frac{3}{8}$
$r=4\frac{3}{8}$
$4\frac{5}{8} +4\frac{3}{8} =9$

Hope this helps.
