Answer:
7/10 and 7/8 are both less than 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product must be less than either factor because when you multiply a number by less than 1, the number gets smaller.
3/2 + b = 7/4
First rewrite 3/2 to have the same denominator as 7/4:
3/2 x 2 = 6/4
Now you have 6/4 + b = 7/4
To find b subtract 6/4 from 7/4:
b = 7/4 - 6/4
b = 1/4
Answer:
there is no greatest load
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:
x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more
x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers
Combining these two inequalities, we have ...
4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600
1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y
y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3
My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
Answer:
465 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have the ratio 1 cm: 110 mi, so you can multiply both sides of this ratio by 4.5 to get
4.5 cm: 465 mi
