Answer:

Yi Xing invented the astronomical clock and introduced some new methods of interpolation in mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yi Xing was both an astronomer and a mathematician during the era. He invented the astronomical clock which was more accurate than the initial water and Sun's clock in use.

Furthermore, Yi Xing also discovered some new methods of interpolation in mathematics of which the meaning and interpretation became controversial. Interpolation is a method majorly in mathematics that can be used to estimate a value of a function from its discrete values. It involves first order differences and second order differences.

Also, Yi Xing was able to design a calendar in A.D. 727.

Which ratio is higher 15:20 or 12:16. for 35 points

Margarita [4]

To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = $\frac{15}{20}$ , and

12:16 = $\frac{12}{16}$

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ .

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ . Since $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , these ratios are the same.

Answer:

what are we actually solving for?....

anyways I had a suggestion ion know if it's right or wrong....

Isolate the variable by diving each side by factor that don't contain the variable.

Therefore x=7.2

Solve for the variable -3x 4 > 5

Ierofanga [76]

-3x + 4 > 5
-3x > 5 - 4
-3x > 1
x < 1/-3
x < -1/3

At a little known vacation spot taxi fares are a bargain. A 49 mile taxi ride takes 56 minutes and cost $39.20. You want to find

artcher [175]

And 49 mile costs $39.20
So 1 mile costs $0.80
$0.8 x 34 = $27.20
