Questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are exercises to give you practice with
common denominators. For each of these questions, change all
the fractions to common denominators, and the answers jump out at you.
#1). 5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60
Make um negative, and then you'll have the answer right away.
#2). The one that's negative is obviously the least.
Both positive ones must be bigger than the negative one.
For the positive ones:
2/5 = 6/15
2/3 = 10/15 .
Now it's easy.
#3). This is tough. The least common denominator is 2,520 !
It's probably easier to just do the divisions and get the decimals
for each fraction.
-5/8 = -0.625
-7/9 = -0.777...
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 = -0.428...
Now it's easy to line um up.
#4). Sneaky one.
Look closely at each fraction.
B, C, and D are all less than 1, so they're not between 1 and anything more than 1.
8/5 is the only one that's more than 1.
#5). A fraction is just a short way to write a division problem.
When you see a fraction, it means
"the top number divided by the bottom number" .
When you actually do the division, the quotient you get
is the decimal form of the fraction.
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point two places that way ==> .
The numbers in the boxes at the bottom of #5 are the correct numbers,
but they both should be negative. (because the -3/8 is negative)
Answer:
The median is located at the 2.5th position, which is halfway between the values 52 and 57.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Median is referred to as the Middle term of a set of Data when ordered in Ascending/Descending order.
Consider the numbers 50, 230, 52, and 57
Arranging them in an Ascending Order
50, 52, 57, 230
The number of data in the set is even.
Dividing the data into two halves (50, 52 and 57, 230)
The median is halfway between the two halves.
The median is located at the 2.5th position, which is halfway between the values 52 and 57.
-2 yo creo que está correcto
