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 :)

-2(4x+4)-3x-2=34 what's the answer

Julli [10]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: -2(4x + 4) - 3x - 2 = 34

To solve this equation, we have to isolate the variable. (Get x by itself).

We'll follow the PEMDAS rule as far as parentheses.

So, -2(4x + 4) - 3x - 2 = 34

= -8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34

Now, we have to get x by itself. To do this, we'll move the numbers without variables to the other side.

Hence:

-8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34

+8 +2 +8 +2

-8x - 3x = 34 + 8 + 2

Now, we'll simplify.

-11x = 44

Lastly, to rid the negative eleven from the x, we have to divide negative eleven by the rest of the equation.

-11x = 44

-11

Divide 270 in the ratio 3:2:1

Contact [7]

3 + 2 + 1 = 6

270 ÷ 6 = 45

45 × 3 = 135

45 × 2 = 90

45 × 1 = 45

3 : 2 : 1

135 : 90 : 45

if the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2l+2w, what is the formula for w in terms of p and l

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(p-2l)/2 = w

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2l+2w

We want to solve for w.

The first step is to subtract 2l from each side

p-2l=2l-2l+2w

p-2l=2w

Then we will divide each side by 2 to isolate w

(p-2l)/2 = 2w/2

(p-2l)/2 = w

In the figure shown, suppose m angle ABC=n and m angle ABD=2(m angle DBC). The angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angl

Yanka [14]

Answer:

n/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angle EBC, then <DBE = <EBC

Since <ABC = <ABD+<DBC

n = 2<DBC+<DBC

n = 3<DBC

<DBC = n/3

Since <DBC = 2EBC

n/3 = 2<EBC

n/6 = <EBC

Hence <EBC = n/6

If you roll two number cubes ,what is the probability of their sum being 9 or higher?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

When two cubes are rolled there are 36 possibilities

Each dice has 6 equally like outcomes so possibilities are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Now we look at the pair that has sum equal to 9

(3,6) (4,5) (5,4) (6,3) that has sum of 9

Probability of sum is 9 = $\frac{4}{36}$

we look at the pairs that has sum greater than 9

(4,6) (5,5)(5,6) (6,4)(6,5)(6,6)

Probability of sum greater than 9 = $\frac{6}{36}$

Probability of sum 9 or higher = P(sum 9) + P(greater than 9)

= $\frac{4}{36}+\frac{6}{36}= \frac{10}{36}=\frac{5}{18}$
