Hello there!

"Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer"


To make this easier, we will make it so that both fractions in each pair has like bases.

To make 3/5 and 1/2 have a like base, we must make the denominators 10. To do this, we will do the following:

(3*2)/(5*2) = 6/10

(1*5)/(2*5) = 5/10

Now we can easily compare and not worry about the denominator

So, let's just look at the numerators. 

Which is greater, 5 or 6? We know 6 is greater, so:

6/10 > 5/10

That means:

3/5 > 1/2

Now, we must do the same for 2/6 and 1/2

We will make them both 6. So, we can leave 2/6 alone

2/6

(1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6

Now we have 2/6 and 3/6

Which is greater, 3 or 2. The answer to that is 2. So:

3/6 > 2/6

This means that 1/2 > 2/6


Our answers are:

1. 3/6 > 2/6

2. 1/2 > 2/6


I hope I was able to help you!

klio [65]
Put the numbers in order

2,3,3,3,4,6,7,9.....the range is the largest number minus the smallest number
so as it is, the range is (9 - 2) = 7

if u replaced the 7 with a 6...
2,3,3,3,4,6,6,9...the range is STILL (9 - 2) = 7

1948 Olympics
mash [69]

Answer:

For 1948 Men's :Interquartile range is 1.5, Median is 58.3

For 2012 Men's: Interquartile range is 0.315, Median is 47.86

You can infer that in 2012 the swimmers were better and it was more competitive as the interquartile range was lower and the median was also lower as well

Step-by-step explanation:

1948 Men's 100m

57.3, 57.8, 58.1, 58.3, 58.3, 59.3, 59.6,1:00.5

               ⬆                ⬆                 ⬆

         Low IQR      Median       High IQR

Low IQR is average of 57.8 and 58.1 = 57.95

High IQR  is average of 59.3 and 59.6 =  59.45

Median is average of 58.3 and 58.3 = 58.3

Interquartile range is High IQR- Low IQR

59.45 - 57.95=1.5

2012 Men's 100m

47.52, 47.53, 47.8, 47.84, 47.88, 47.92, 48.04, 48.44

                    ⬆                  ⬆                      ⬆

             Low IQR         Median          High IQR

Low IQR is average of 47.53 and 47.8 = 47.665

High IQR is average of 48.04 and 47.92 = 47.98

Median is average of 47.88 and 47.84 = 47.86

Interquartile range is High IQR-Low IQR

47.98-47.665=0.315
