Would 1/5 be greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

1 answer:

7 0

1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
2/3 = 10/15
So no :)

Reason why:
You want to find the common denominator between all three fractions, so all fractions are the same proportions. So in this case, if you multiply 5*3 you get 15, making it the common denominator. Then since you multiplied the 5 in 1/5 by 3 to get 15, and you have to multiply the 3 in 1/3 and 2/3 by 5 to get 15, then you multiply the numerator by the same number.

Sorry I am terrible at explaining things. Hope this helped though!

You usually buy a 5.4 ounce bottle of lotion. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20% more free. Write an equation to b

natka813 [3]

20% is 1/5 more so it is 1 1/5 times the size of the smaller one. 1 1/5 is 1.2 as a decimal (also 120% divided by 100).

Let's take the smaller bottle to be y.

x=1.2y
x=1.2*5.4=6.48 ounces.

What mixed number is 3/8 of 100

shusha [124]

3/8 0f 100
100 / 8 = 12.5
Now, let's multiply this by 3 to be able to get the value
=> 12.5 * 3 = 37.5 is the value of 3/8 of 100.
This is a mixed number because its a combination of whole and decimal numbers.

Can someone answer 15b

NISA [10]

A)

well, we know the elevator's rate is -20 f/s, ok, so every second, is dropping 20 feet, therefore, "y" is "distance from the ground floor", so when y = 0, meaning the distance to the ground floor is 0, so you ARE at the ground floor then.

and "x" is how many seconds you've been in the elevator.

now, she got in the elevator for 6 seconds, so, the elevator went down by 20 * 6, or 120 feet down, reason why the slope is negative, when she stopped, she was 350 feet away from the ground floor still though.

if the elevator went down 120 feet, and she's still 350 feet from the ground floor, that means she boarded the elevator at 120 + 350 feet, or 470 feet.

b)

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccllll}
&\stackrel{\textit{elapsed seconds}}{x_1}&\stackrel{\textit{ft from ground-floor}}{y_1}\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 350}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies -20
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-350=-20(x-6)
\\\\\\
y-350=-20x+120\implies y=-20x+\stackrel{y-intercept}{470}$

There are 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 atoms in 1 gram of oxygen. How many atoms are there in 600 grams of oxygen? Write your an

tatiyna

Answer:

<u>2.256 x 10 to the power of 25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 atoms in 1 gram of oxygen

So, there are x atoms in 600 grams of oxygen

Using the ratio and proportional

So, the number of atoms = 600 * 3.76 x 10 to the power of 22 =

$= 6*10^2 * 3.76 * 10^{22}\\=6*3.76 * 10^2*10^{22}\\=22.56 * 10^{24}\\=2.256 * 10 * 10^{24}\\=2.256 * 10^{25}$

So, the answer in scientific notation as A.BCD x 10 to the power of E

Will be <u>2.256 x 10 to the power of 25</u>
