Which is larger 17/40 or 8/15

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!

In triangle ABC, AB = 90 in., BC = 80 in., and angle B measures 50°. What is the approximate perimeter of the triangle?
Monica [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Perimeter = 287.3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 90 in

BC = 80 in

∠B = 50

Perimeter = ?

Process

1.- We need to find AC using Law of sines

\frac{sin A}{80} = \frac{sin 50}{90}

       sin A = \frac{80}{90} sin 50

       sin A = 0.68

              A = 42.9 ≈ 43

The sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°

       A + B + C = 180°

       43 + B + 50 = 180

       B = 180 - 43 - 50

       B = 87°

\frac{AC}{Sin 87} = \frac{90}{sin 50}

AC = 90 \frac{sin 87}{sin 50}

      AC = 117.3

2.- Find the perimeter

     Perimeter = AB + BC + AC

     Perimeter = 90 + 80 + 117.3

     Perimeter = 287.3 in

Find X using the Angle Sum Theorem
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

x = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

So when I learned it we called it the exterior angle theorem not the angle sum theorem but here goes.

Since exterior angle = 110 Degrees,

--> The Inner 2 angles's sum = 110 Degrees

so, 70 + 2x = 110

=> 2x = 40

x = 20

x = 20°

The difference from home to
Amanda [17]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8}\ mile

Step-by-step explanation:

-Amy walks a distance of 7/8 mile

-Tom walks a distance of 4/8 mile.

#We immediately notice that Amy has walked a longer distance than Tom.

We subtract Tom's distance from Amy's to find how much further Amy walked;

\bigtriangleup d=d_A-d_T\\\\=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{4}{8}\\\\=\frac{3}{8} mile

Hence, Amy has walked 3/8 miles further than Tom has.

Cool Scoops ice cream shop offers 60 different one-topping sundaes. If there are 12 flavors of ice cream, how many toppings are
kow [346]
The answer would be 5. 
You have to multiply the two variable which would be the amount of ice cream flavors and the number of toppings to get the amount which is 60. Since we don't know the number of toppings, we divide the whole amount (60) by the variable we do know (types of ice cream; 12) and we get 5.
