Is 2/3 greater than 2/5?

1 answer:

7 0

Yes. 2/3 is greater than 2/5. You can check this by cross multiplication or easier just look at the denominator and numerator. In this case the numerator is the same so it's easier in a sense that you need to look at the denominator. Since the denominator 3 is close to the numerator 2 it shows that it's almost a whole unlike the other fraction. You can also convert each fraction to decimals and compare it which is also easy. Just divide the numerator by the denominator and you've got a decimal. Hope this helps!

which statement is true about the equations –3x 4y = 12 and x1/4 – 1/3y = 1? the system of the equations has exactly one solutio

finlep [7]

If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

-3x + 4y = 12
x * 1/4 - 1/3 * y = 1 ... x * 1/4 = 1 + 1/3 * y ... x = 4 + 4/3 * y
_____________
<span>-3x + 4y = 12
</span>-3 * (4 + 4/3 * y) + 4y = 12
-12 - 4y + 4y = 12
-12 = 12
-12 - 12 = 0
-24 = 0

The correct result would be: <span>the system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.</span>

In a horse race, how many different finishes among the first 3 places are possible if 7 horses are running? (Exclude ties)

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

7 x 6 x 5 = 210

Step-by-step explanation:

its a combination's problem.

7 horses are eligible for first place.

6 of those are eligible for 2nd given that one of the 7 finished first.

similarly 5 of the remaining are eligible for 3rd place given 2 horses have taken the first 2 spots.

therefore 7 x 6 x 5 possible combinations = 210 combinations.
