What is bigger 1/3 or 3/5

1 answer:

6 0

$Method\ 1:$

$\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1\cdot5}{3\cdot5}=\dfrac{5}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{5\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{15} < \dfrac{9}{15}\ therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$

$Method\ 2:$

$\dfrac{1}{3} < \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1.5}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5} > \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2.5}{5}\\\\therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$

Suppose a population has a mean weight of 180 pounds and a standard deviation of 25 pounds. a sample of 100 items is drawn from

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Solution: We are given:

μ=180,σ=25,n=100

Therefore the standard error of the mean is

$\frac{standard deviation}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\frac{25}{\sqrt{100}}$

$2.5$

In an apartment complex with 28 units, 19 of the renters keep a pet. What percentage does not keep a pet?

Aleks04 [339]

If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are $28-19 = 9$ renters who don't keep a pet.

Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute

$\dfrac{\text{number of elements in the subset}}{\text{number of elements in the set}}\times 100$

So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes

$\dfrac{9}{28}\times 100 = 0.32\overline{142857}\times 100 = 32.\overline{142857} \approx 32.14\%$
