Answer:

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 OR 2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1

We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least

The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers

So,

2/5 = 0.4

6/7 ≈ 0.857

5/8 = 0.625

1 = 1

So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:

0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1

So,

2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1

The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:

2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1

Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:

1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5

Need a little help with one please

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

That would be the side-side-side (SSS) postulate, which states that if all the sides of a triangle are in a fixed ratio to all the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at triangles ABC and DEF, we notice that:

$\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{AC}{DF}=\frac{BC}{EF}$

since

$\frac{3}{18} = \frac{6}{36}=\frac{7}{42}=\frac{1}{6}$

Let me know if you have further questions.
