-1/3 = -5/15
-2/5 = -6/15

-5/15 > -6/15, so -1/3 > - 2/5

Answer:

The answer is -1/3 > -2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can rewrite both numbers to simplify the comparison.

-1/3 ≅ -0.33

-2/5 ≅ -0.40

Now, you can write a number line and insert both numbers into it.

The negative number most furthest from 0 is the smallest number.

So, in this case, -0.33 > -0.40 → -1/3 > -2/5

Decrease 248 by 30%

Snowcat [4.5K]

Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.

So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.

All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4

So subtract 74.4 and get

173.6

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line defined by the equation y = 3x + 6 and goes through the point (3,

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line is 3. The easy way to do this, the one that uses our logical brains as opposed to our mathematical brain, tells us that since there is only one choice that has a given slope of 3, that is the one that we want. The second choice down is the only one that has a slope of 3.

Mathematically,

$y-2=3(x-3)$ and

$y-2=3x=9$ and

$y=3x-9+2$ so

y = 3x - 7 (the second choice)

If 6 burgers cost $7.74 how many can you buy for $19.35

xeze [42]

Answer:

15 burgers!

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is to get rid of the decimal point from the number we are dividing by.

How? We can "shift the decimal point" out of the way by multiplying by 10, as many times as we need to.

But we must do the same thing to both numbers in the division.

Example: 15 divided by 0.2

Let us multiply the 0.2 by 10, which shifts the decimal point out of the way:

0.2 × 10 = 2

But we must also do it to the 15:

15 × 10 = 150

So 15 ÷ 0.2 has become 150 ÷ 2 (they are both 10 times larger):

150 ÷ 2 = 75

And so the answer is:

15 ÷ 0.2 = 75
