The last pair of numbers bracket the point 3/7.

12/32 = 3/8 < 3/7

15/18 = 5/6 > 3/7

_____

3/7 ≈ 0.428571... (repeating), so will be larger than 3/8 = 0.375, 12/32 = 3/8, and 4/10. That is, 3/7 is larger than the largest number of each pair except the last.

------

You can always compare two fractions to see which is larger by cross-multiplying. That is a/b vs c/d gives the same result as ad vs bc. (Put the product on the numerator side of the comparison.)

Here, that would mean comparing 12/32 vs 3/7, we would get 12·7 vs 3·32, or 84 vs 96. The fraction on the left is smaller.

Comparing 3/7 vs 15/18, we would get 3·18 vs 7·15, or 54 vs 105. The fraction on the right is larger.

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x what does x equal
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 = -9 + 7x   (add 2 to both sides)

8x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 7x + 2

8x = 7x - 7           (subtract 7x from  both sides)

8x - 7x = 7x - 7 - 7x

x = - 7

mylen [45]

Answer:

up to $338.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound amount formula:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t), where r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction and n is the number of compounding periods per year.

Here, A = $300(1 + 0.04/12)^(12*3), or

          A = $300(1.0033333)^*36, or

          A = $300(1.127) = $338.18

Nina will be able to spend up to $338.18 on a new bike.
