Complete Question:

Is the value of the fraction 7−2y/6 greater than the value of the fraction 3y−7/12 ?  For what values?(Make sure to use an inequality)

Answer:

y < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two fractions are:

\frac{7-2y}{6} and \frac{3y-7}{12}

We have to tell for which range of values is the value of first fraction larger than the second fraction. This can be done by setting up an inequality as shown:

\frac{7-2y}{6} >\frac{3y-7}{12}

The range of y which will satisfy this inequality will result in first fraction of larger value as compared to the second fraction.

Multiplying both sides of inequality by 12, we get:

12 \times \frac{7-2y}{6} > 12 \times \frac{3y-7}{12} \\\\  2(7-2y)>3y-7\\\\ 14-4y>3y-7\\\\ 14+7>3y+4y\\\\ 21>7y\\\\ 3>y\\\\ y

This means, for y lesser than 3, the value of first fraction is larger than the second one.

Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a). $20,000

(b). The estimate will be lower than the actual amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.

(a). We know that 1 year equals 12 months.

4 years = 4*12 months = 48 months.

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$423\times 48

Since we are asked to find the estimated amount of money Michael will save in 4 years, so we will estimate both quantities as:

423\approx 400\\\\48\approx 50

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$400\times 50

\text{Actual amount saved}=\$20,000

Therefore, Michael will save approximately $20,000 in 4 years.

(b).

The estimate will be lower than the actual amount as we rounded $423 down $23 to nearest hundred that is $400 and rounded 48 up 2 to nearest ten that is 40.

Therefore, the estimate will be lower than the actual amount.

If the average of 3 numbers and 8 is 25 what is the sum of the three numbers
Gennadij [26K]
Let sum of 3 numbers be x.

Average of 3 numbers and 8 = \frac{x + 8}{4}

25 = \frac{x +8}{4}

100 = x +8

x= 92.

The sum of 3 numbers is 92.
