Answer:

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

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:

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

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

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

Amy's yearly salary is given by the equation y = 25,000 + 700x, where x is the number of years since 2007 and y is her salary in
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Amy's yearly salary in 2011 was $27,800

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=25,000+700x

where

x ---> is the number of years since 2007

y ---> Amy's yearly salary in dollars

To find out what was her salary in 2011, first determine the value of x

x=2011-2007=4\ years

substitute the value of x in the equation above

y=25,000+700(4)

y=\$27,800

therefore

Amy's yearly salary in 2011 was $27,800
