Which inequality correctly compares 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rasek [7]3 years ago
5 0

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>

What is the standard equation of the circle in the graph
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

formula:(x-h)^(2)*(y-k)^(2)=r^2

well if you move the circle 3 units left h is (-3), plug it in, you get 3, so it is (x+3)^2*(y-k)^(2)=r^2

if you move the circle 2 units up, plug it in you get (-2), so it is

(x+3)^2*(y-2)^(2)=r^2

now, the radius is 3 (we can see from the graph) so radius ^2 is 9, thus

(x+3)^2*(y-2)^(2)=9

this is the answer, and the option that has it is answer is option 1

Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. With the pass, matinees cost $1.00. If matinees are
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

In order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass Seth have to attend the movies for 11 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of movie pass = $40

Cost per matinees with pass = $1.00

Cost per matinees without pass = $3.50

To Find:

Number of times must Seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass = ?

Solution:

Let x be the number of times he wants to visit

To profit his father

The number of visits without pass =  the number of visits with passin the cost  of $3.50

Then, without pass if he visits for x times then the cost will be  = 3.50x

Also with pass, the number of times he can visit the pass  =  \frac{40}{3.50}

then

\frac{350 x}{3.50} = \frac{40}{3.50}

3.50x = 40

x = \frac{40}{3.50}

x =  11.42

x = 11 (approx)

Find the first five terms of the sequence: an = 5an – 1 + 2; a1 = 3.
pishuonlain [190]
Given that the series is given by:
an=5an-1+2
where:
a1=3
then the other terms of the sequence will be:
a2=5a1+2
a2=5*3+2=17

a3=5a2+2
a3=5(17)+2
a3=87

a4=5a3+2
a4=5(87)+2
a4=437

a5=5a4+2
a5=(5*437+2)
a5=2187

hence the sequence will be:
<span>3, 17, 87, 437, 2187
</span>
Answer: <span>a) {3, 17, 87, 437, 2187}</span>

Can someone help me out with this inequality problem?? Will give brainliest to best answer!!
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

250x + 525y ≤ 7800

no, 15 refrigerators and 8 pianos will not fit on the truck

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that x is the refrigerators and each one is 250 lbs

this can be written as 250x

we know that y is the pianos and each one is 525 lbs

this can be written as 525y

we also know that "no more than" is the same that as less than equal to

so this can be written as ≤

we can also say that the refrigerators and pianos has to be ≤ 7800

so now we have: 250x + 525y ≤ 7800

plug in 15 to x and 8 to y

250(15) + 525(8) ≤ 7800

3750 + 4200 ≤ 7800

7950 ≤ 7800

this statement is not true so no, 15 refrigerators and 8 pianos will not fit on the truck

Area of rectangle = Base x Height

or

Height = Area of Rectangle ÷ Base

In this case, Area =38.25 sq yards and Base = 9 yards

Height = 38.25 ÷ 9 = 4.25 yards
