Comparing the two ratios 2/4 and 1/2 2/4 is larger

kumpel [21]

Answer:

3.5 : 7 > 1.2 : 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Compare the ratios 4 : 5 and 2 : 3.

Solution:

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.

2. Compare the ratios 5 : 6 and 7 : 9.

Solution:

Express the given ratios as fraction

5 : 6 = 5/6 and 7 : 9 =7/9

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 6 and 9

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 6 and 9 is 18.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 18, we have

5/6 = (5 ×3)/(6 ×3) = 15/18 and 7/9 = (7 ×2)/(9 ×2) = 14/18

Clearly, 15 > 14

Now, 15/18 > 14/18

Therefore, 5 : 6 > 7 : 9.

3. Compare the ratios 1.2 : 2.5 and 3.5 : 7.

Solution:

1.2 : 2.5 = 1.2/2.5 and 3.5 : 7 =3.5/7

1.2/2.5 = (1.2 ×10)/(2.5 ×10 ) = 12/25 and 3.5/7 = (3.5 ×10)/(7 ×10) = 35/70 = 1/2

[We removed the decimal point from the ratios now, we will compare the ratio]

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 25 and 2

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 25 and 2 is 50.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 50, we have

= 12/25 = (12 ×2)/(25 ×2) = 24/50 and 1/2 = (1 ×25)/(2 ×25) = 25/50

Now, 25/50 > 24/50

Therefore, 3.5 : 7 > 1.2 : 2.5.

The plot below shows the graphs of three functions, f, g, and h, all of which determine the population of three different cities

monitta

So, here we have an exponential function.

Remember that an exponential function has the form:

$y=a(b)^x=a(1\pm\frac{r}{100})^x$

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).

So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

$\begin{gathered} a=40 \\ b=1+\frac{13}{100}=1.13 \end{gathered}$

So,

$f(x)=40(1.13)^x$

For city B:

$\begin{gathered} a=40 \\ b=1+\frac{16}{100}=1.16 \\ g(x)=40(1.16)^x \end{gathered}$

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.

So,

$h(x)=40+10x$

Barbra can walk 3,200 meters in 24 minutes. How far can she walk in three minutes.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how far she can walk in 3 minutes, we need to find how fast she can walk in 1 minutes. We do this by dividing the distance she walked by the time she walked. Lets do so.

3200/24=133.33

She walks 133.33 meters per minute. Now to find her distance in 3 minutes w multiply this number by 3.

133.33*3=400

Barbra walks 400 meters every 3 minutes.
