8/15

when you divide it it comes out to be 0.533 repeating

but when you divide 17/40 it comes out to be 0.425

so .5 is larger then .4

It's easier to figure it out when both fractions have the same denominator, so let's fix that:

17/40*15/15 is 255/600

8/15*40/40 is 320/600

Notice we are multiplying by a factor of 1 to get equivalent fractions

So 8/15 is bigger

Hope this helped!

Use the table to write and solve an equation to find the number of

exis [7]

Answer:

$c = 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cars\ Sold:-: 8; 9; 12; c$

Required

What value of c makes the mean = 10

Mean is calculated as

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

In this case;

Mean = 10 and n = 4;

So, we have:

$10 = \frac{8+ 9 + 12 + c}{4}$

$10 = \frac{29+ c}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 4

$10 * 4 = 29 + c$

$40 = 29 + c$

Solve for c

$c = 40 - 29$

$c = 11$

-3q + 12 greater than equal too 4q - 30 solve for q

valentina_108 [34]

Solving the inequality $-3q+12\geq 4q-30$ the value of q is $q\leq 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the inequality: $-3q+12\geq 4q-30$ and find value of q

Solving:

$-3q+12\geq 4q-30\\Adding\,\,-12\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\-3q+12-12\geq 4q-30-12\\-3q\geq 4q-42\\Adding\,\,-4q\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\-3q-4q\geq 4q-42-4q\\-7q\geq -42\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,7\\\frac{-7q}{7}\geq \frac{-42}{7}\\ -q\geq -6\\Multiply\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,-1\,\,and\,\,reverse\,\,the\,\,inequality:\\q\leq 6$

So, solving the inequality $-3q+12\geq 4q-30$ the value of q is $q\leq 6$
