Answer:

$\frac{1}{24,000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator

In this problem we have

$\frac{1}{24,000}$ and $\frac{1}{3,168,000}$

Both numerator are equal

Compare the denominators

$24,000 < 3,168,000$

therefore

$\frac{1}{24,000}$ is the largest rational number

Write an equation for a line with a slope of 2, through (4,-2) in standard form.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The correct answer would be -2x + y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, start with point-slope form and input the known values.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 2(x - 4)

Now distribute and solve for the constant.

y + 2 = 2(x - 4)

y + 2 = 2x - 8

-2x + y + 2 = -8

-2x + y = -10

A manatee eats the equivalent of about 12% of its body weight each day. Write an equation that represents the amount y (in pound

san4es73 [151]

Y is the amount of food that a manatee eats each day:
the weight is X
12% or its weight is X x 12 /100= 12x /100=3x/25
so the equation is y= 3x/25
the dependent variable is y (it depends to the value of x)
and the independent is x

The sun causes a flagpole to cast a shadow that measures 85 ft. from the base of the pole. At the same time of the day, a 6.5 ft

Answer:

Length of the shadow of player's sister is 5.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

AB represents the basketball player and DE is his little sister.

Height of basketball player = 6.5 ft

Length of shadow of the player = 9.75 ft

Height of player's sister = 3.5 ft

Since, ΔABC and ΔEDC are the similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

$\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{ED}{DC}$

$\frac{6.5}{3.5}= \frac{9.75}{x}$

x = $\frac{9.75\times 3.5}{6.5}$

x = 5.25 ft

Therefore, length of the shadow of player's sister is 5.25 feet.
