How do you use equivalent fractions to compare the fractions in each pair

Mathematics

Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

Firstly you need to to reduce to a common denominator by multiplYing the whole fraction. This way you have to multiply 4/5 by 2 (both numerator and denominator). so 4/5 = 8/10. And now you have 8/10 and 9/10. You compare only numerators. This way you have 8/10 <9/10. Same goes for 2/3 and 5/8. Only here you need to multiply both fractions. The common denominator here is 24. So you have to multiply 2/3 by 8 and 5/8 by 3. You now have to compare 16/24 and 15/24. 16/24>15/24.

What is -7(x-2)=1=15-7x
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-7(x + -2) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

-7(-2 + x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(-2 * -7 + x * -7) + 1 = 15 + -7x

(14 + -7x) + 1 = 15 + -7x

Reorder the terms:

14 + 1 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 14 + 1 = 15

15 + -7x = 15 + -7x

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

-7x = 15 + -15 + -7x

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

-7x = 0 + -7x

-7x = -7x

Add '7x' to each side of the equation.

-7x + 7x = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.

A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 1.5 feet, 30 feet a
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x₁ > x₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Both actions imply a parable trajectories, since both are projectile shot cases.

Let´s call x₁ maximum distance in the first case

The maximum height is just in the middle of the curve, therefore x₁ the maximum horizontal distance is equal to 60 feet.

In the second case, the parable curve is modeled by:

y = x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂)    or  y = 0.08*x₂ - 0.002*x₂²

A second degree equation, solving for x₂ and dismissing the value x₂ = 0

we get:

y = 0       ⇒    x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂) = 0    x₂ = 0

And 0,08 - 0.002*x₂ = 0

- 0.002*x₂ = - 0.08

x₂ = 0.08/0.002

x₂ = 40 f

Then  x₁ > x₂

What is 1 3/8 close to?
kozerog [31]
It depends what your trying to get close to. If your trying to get close to a number that is easier to work with 1 4/8 is good because its the same as 11/2 but the closest whole number is 1.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -1/3x+4
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 4 ← is i slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 2 = 7

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 7 ← equation of parallel line
