Why can it help to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?

Because it helps to see which one is greater, For example: if you line up 0.079 and 0.127 you can easily tell that 0.0127 is greater because it is closer to a hole number. Another example: 0.1 and 0.3, obviously 0.3 is greater. in conclusion, the reason you line up the decimal points is to make it easier to see which numbers are greater, which helps you compare and order easily!

The value of X would be 3.6 because if you divide the 4 by 2 to get the half triangle you now know the base and height for the triangle. Now you have to use tangent -1 to figure out the bottom right angle which is 56.3 degrees. Once you have the angle you can use Sin to figure out the missing side.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

-2.5 or - 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing out the expression Mathematically ;

1/3(-15÷1/2)1/4

Using PEMDAS :

Solving the bracket first

(-15 ÷ 1/2) = (-15 * 2/1) = - 30

We have :

1/3(-30)1/4 = - 10 * 1/4 = - 10 / 4 = - 2.5

-2.5 = - 2 1/2
