Answer:

-6 is less than -5

Explanation:

Let’s use a number line to answer your question.

On a number line:

A larger number means moving to the right.
A smaller number means moving to the left.

Step 1. Find -5 on the number line

Start at 0 and move 5 units to the left (see image below).

This takes you to -5.

Step 2. Move to -6

You must move 1 unit to the left.

∴ -6 is less than -5.

less than because when it turns negative it reverses how it would normally be. so 6 is greater than 5 but -6 is less than -5

a carpenter cut four lengths of wood. the lengths were 36 3/4 in., 36 3/8 in., 37 1/2., and z in. if the mean of lengths is 36 5

lisov135 [29]

36 3/4 = 36.75
36 3/8 = 36.375
37 1/2 = 37.5
36 5/8 = 36.625

(36.75 + 36.375 + 37.5 + z) / 4 = 36.625
(110.625 + z) / 4 = 36.625
110.625 + z = 36.625 * 4
110.625 + z = 146.5
z = 146.5 - 110.625
z = 35.875 or 35 7/8 <===

Name the ray rhat angle PQR and angle SQR share

lyudmila [28]

Ray Q is the ray that angle PQR and SQR shares. Because both angles has the ray of Q.
ray refers to a line with one endpoint
P is a ray, Q is a ray, R is a ray and S is a ray. When you put them together, they form angle.

Pls. see attachment for the presentation of the angle PQR and SQR and how they share ray Q
