Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

1/2 = 50%
2/5 = 40%
50% is more than 40%

P: grass is green or Q: 3 is the square root of 10 (P ∨ Q)

Inga [223]

P v Q is a disjunction, which is true whenever P or Q is true or both are true. P v Q is false only when P and Q are both false.

You know that Q is false, because 3 is not the square root of 10, so the only possibility for P v Q be true is that P is true.

If that is the case, you have this relation:

T F ---> T

which means True and False imply True
