The answer would be 14/5.

First of all, get the denominators to be the same. The LCM is 5 × 7 = 3/5

So 1 /7 × 5/ 5 = 5 /3/5

And 2/ 5 × 7 /7 = 14 /35

Now we have 5 /35 and 14 /35

Then all you have to do is divide Joe's by Jane's to get the answer.

14 /35 ÷ 5 35 =14 /35 × 35/ 5 = 14 /5

Meaning the answer is 14/5.

Hope I could help! :)

well you need to subtract 3/5 and 1/7. how you do that is by finding the least common denominator (find the lowest number that can go into both numbers) and then subtract the nominators.

City R has a temperature of -2 degrees. City S has a temperature of -6 degrees. Write an inequality to compare the temperatures

elena-s [515]

Answer:

-2 > -6 . . . or . . . R > S

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot the temperatures of the two cities on a number line, you see that the temperature for City R is plotted to the right of the temperature for City S. This means the temperature of City S is less than that of City R.

If your inequality relates cities:

S < R or R > S

If your inequality relates temperatures:

-6 < -2 or -2 > -6
