Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this,

You have a pie.

This pie is sliced to 8 pieces.

Suppose you like pie, would you only take 1 slice of pie or 7 slices of pie?

Of course 7 slices because it is more than 1 slice of pie.

In this case the answer would be -1/8 but the main question here is about the value.

If the number is negative and is lower than the negative number like -7, then the <em>value </em>of it is higher.

-7/8 is less than -1/8

7/8 > 1/8

-7/8 < - 1/8

Answer:The fraction with the lowest value is - 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions are

-1/8, -5/8, -7/8, or -3/8

We will convert each fraction to decimal.

-1/8 = - 0.125

- 5/8 = - 0.625

- 7/8 = - 0.875

- 3/8 = - 0.375

Arranging the decimals in an increasing order, it becomes

- 0.875, - 0.625, - 0.375, - 0.125

So the lowest fraction is

- 0.875 = - 7/8

Find the measure of the numbered angles in rhombus ABCD

sasho [114]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a Rhombus opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

The diagonals are perpendicular and bisect the angles

step 1

Find the measure of angle 4

we know that

$m\angle 4=27^o$ --->by the diagonals bisect the angles

step 2

Find the measure of angle 1

we know that

$m\angle 1=27^o$ ----> by opposite angles are congruent

step 3

Find the measure of angle 2

we know that

$m\angle 1=m\angle 2$ ----> by the diagonals bisect the angles

$m\angle 2=27^o$

step 4

Find the measure of angle 3

we know that

$m\angle 3=90^o$ ----> by the diagonals are perpendicular

step 5

Find the measure of angle 5

we know that

$m\angle 5+27^o=90^o$ ----> by complementary angles

$m\angle 5=90^o-27^o=63^o$

step 6

Find the measure of angle 6

we know that

$m\angle 6=m\angle 5$ ----> by the diagonals bisect the angles

$m\angle 6=63^o$

Determine the mean of the data. Round to the nearest tenth. 6, 9, 15, 22, 30, 36

pshichka [43]

To find the mean you add all the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there is so add
6+9+15+22+30+36=118
there is 6 number so divide 118 by 6
118/6=<span>19.6666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 20
So your mean would be 20
let me know if you have any questions</span>
