Which choice correctly compares the two numbers?

Mathematics

3 0

Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.

Help me please. Find the measures of CAD and DAE
VladimirAG [237]

well, we know the "sum" of both angles is 90°, notice the rectangle in the corner, so we can say that the angles are simply complementary angles, thus

\left( \cfrac{3}{2}x+20 \right)+2x=90\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}x+20 + 2x \right)=2(90)} \\\\\\ 3x+40+4x=180\implies 7x+40=180\implies 7x=140\implies x=\cfrac{140}{7} \\\\\\ x = 20~\hfill \stackrel{\measuredangle CAD}{\cfrac{3}{2}20+20\implies 50}\qquad\qquad \stackrel{\measuredangle DAE}{2(20)\implies 40}

Then, the bug ran from −12 to −100. What distance did it cover? If this run took the bug 8 minutes, what was its average speed?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The distance is 88 units

speed = 11 units per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, take the second point and subtract the first point

-100 - (-12)

-100+12 = -88

Distance is the number (direction is positive or negative)

The distance is 88 units

To find the speed, take the distance and divide by the time

speed = 88 units / 8 minutes

speed = 11 units per minute

A soccer field is 345 feet long.What is the length of the field in yards?
OleMash [197]
115. This is because there are three feet in a yard. If you divide the number of feet by three, you can find the number of yards. Therefore, 345 divided by 3 equals 115.

0.45 0.40 0.11 This question uses the following probability model for the blood type of a randomly chosen person in the United S
poizon [28]

Answer:

P(O\ or\ A) = 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

P(O\ or\ A)

From the question, we understand that she can only get blood from O or A groups. So, the probability is represented as:

P(O\ or\ A)

This is calculated as:

P(O\ or\ A) = P(O) + P(A)

Using the American row i.e. the blood must come from an American.

We have:

P(O) = 0.45

P(A) = 0.40

So, we have:

P(O\ or\ A) = 0.45 + 0.40

P(O\ or\ A) = 0.85
