------------------------------------------------------
Change the denominators to be the same
------------------------------------------------------
5/ 8 = 5/8
7/4 = 14/8

Since the denominators are the same, the larger the numerator, the larger the fraction. Therefore 14/8 (7/4) is greater than 5/8. 

14/8 > 5/8
7/4  >  5/8

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The grasshopper that is 7/4 unit long is longer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is a strangely worded question as they only refer to the larger gear turning.

I believe that this is what they are going for.

Number of teeth passing in each revolution

The Numbers match when the large gear turns two times as the smaller gear turns three times.

A city planner is rerouting traffic in order to work on a stretch of road. The equation of the path of the old route can be desc
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D

Explanation:

The equation of a line in the point slope form is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m represents slope

x1 and y1 represents coordinates of the point that the line passes.

From the information given, the equation of the path of the old route is

y = 2x/5 - 4

Recall, the equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

By comparing both equations,

slope, m = 2/5

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Given that the new route is to be parallel to the old route and will go through point (Q, P), then

m = 2/5

x1 = Q

y1 = P

The equation of the new route be

y - P = 2/5(x - Q)
