Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"
Answer:-5y=-3x+10
Divide all by -5
Y= 3/5x+10/-5
Negative divide by negative is positive--3/-5= 3/5
Slope is 3/5 y intercept is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes Clare should switch because $96 + 12% is $107.52 but if she get the other one, it would be $105 in one year because $8.75 x 12 is $105
