Yes. 2/3 is greater than 2/5. You can check this by cross multiplication or easier just look at the denominator and numerator. In this case the numerator is the same so it's easier in a sense that you need to look at the denominator. Since the denominator 3 is close to the numerator 2 it shows that it's almost a whole unlike the other fraction. You can also convert each fraction to decimals and compare it which is also easy. Just divide the numerator by the denominator and you've got a decimal. Hope this helps!
Answer:
-x<-16
Step-by-step explanation:
4-3(1-x)
x=-1
7-2(x+2)
x=2
Given:
The line segment is passing through the points (-9,-3) and (8,5),
Divide the segment in the ratio of 1:4.
Use the formula,

It gives,

Answer:
Answer:
C(x) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Area of the field = 3600 square feet
Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot
Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'
now,
Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet
or
B =
feet
and total length to be fenced = x + 2B
therefore,
Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced
or
Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )
substituting the value of B from (1)
Total cost of fencing, C(x) = 
or
C(x) = 
Let the width be x cm.
Then length=3x-4 cm.
Its perimeter is 64 cm.
We know that perimeter of a rectangle= 2(length+width)
So,
2(3x-4+x)=64
6x-8+2x=64
6x+2x=64+8
8x=72
x=9
Therefore,
length=(3×9-4)cm=(27-4)cm=23 cm.
Width=9 cm.
