Answer:

Yes unless the fraction is equal to a whole number or is an improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal fraction like 2/4 is less than a whole number because a whole number is whole and a fraction is part of

Exceptions:

4/4 is a fraction but is also a whole number

any improper fraction ( a fraction not simplified)

5/4 it equals more than a whole number 1 1/4

So simplify the fraction and if it is equal to or more than a whole number you know, but if it is less than a whole number then you know it is less.

Hopefully this helped :)

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a part of a whole number, so yes a fraction is always less than a whole number, unless it's a mixed number. A mixed number is when there is a whole number before the fraction.

Which point does the line with equation y+4=3(x-7) pass through?

gregori [183]

<span>y+4=3(x-7)
y + 4 = 3x - 21
y = 3x - 21 -4
y = 3x - 25

when x = 7
y = 3(7) - 25
y = -4
Therefore (7, -4) pass through this equation </span>

In the pulley system shown in this figure, MQ = 30 mm, NP = 10 mm, and QP = 21 mm. Find MN.

ankoles [38]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of this problem, see the figure below. Our goal is to find $\overline{MN}$ . Since:

$\angle MRS=\angle MQP=90^{\circ} \\ \\ \overline{MQ}=\overline{MR}=30mm$

and $\overline{MN}$ is a common side both for ΔMRN and ΔMQN, then by SAS postulate, these two triangles are congruent and:

$\overline{RN}=\overline{QN}$

By Pythagorean theorem, for triangle NQP:

$\overline{QN}=\sqrt{\overline{NP}^2+\overline{QP}^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{10^2+21^2} \\ \\ \overline{QN}=\sqrt{541}$

Applying Pythagorean theorem again, but for triangle MQN:

$\overline{MN}=\sqrt{\overline{MQ}^2+\overline{QN}^2} \\ \\ \overline{MN}=\sqrt{30^2+(\sqrt{541})^2} \\ \\ \boxed{\overline{MN}=37.96}$
