Is 2/3 greater then1/5

1 answer:

8 0

Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.

2/3 = 10/15

1/5 = 3/15

We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)

Answer:

B) Beth went back toward her origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 0 to 6, the graph increases. The dependent variable in this case is position and the independent variable is time; this means for this portion of the graph, as time increases the position increases as well.

From 6 to 10, the graph decreases. As time increases the position decreases. This means she goes back to her original position.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

10.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Derek places a standard 12-inch ruler next to the goal post and measures the shadow of the ruler and the backboard. If the ruler has a shadow of 10 inches. We are asked t find the height of the backboard, if the backboard has a shadow of 8.5 feet.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as ratio between sides ruler will be equal to ratio of sides of background.

$\frac{\text{Actual height of ruler}}{\text{Shadow of ruler}}=\frac{\text{Actual height of backboard}}{\text{Shadow of backboard}}$
