Two ways of solving:
1. Convert the fractions to decimals:
3/7 = 0.42857
3/5 = 0.6
0.42857 < 0.6
So 3/7 < 3/5
Second way is to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator:
3/7 = 15/35
3/5 = 21/35
Now compare the numerators:
15 < 21 so 3/7 < 3/5
Answer:
The bird dove 44 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the bird starts 37 feet above the ocean and dives from its position to 7 feet below the ocean, the you just add the two numbers and get its total dive.
To draw it draw a graph that goes past to +37 and past -7, then draw a bar representing the birds dive from +37 to -7. The X axis would be time, and the Y axis is the bird's height relative to the surface of the water.
La pendiente de la recta que pasa por los puntos (2,3) y (-2,-4) es 7/4.
(2,3) (-2,-4)
x₁ y₁ x₂ y₂
y₂ - y₁ -4 -3 -7 7
----------- = --------- = ----------- = ------
x₂ - x₁ -2 - 2 -4 4
