-2/9 is greater than -4/9.

Because: since both numbers are negatives, then the one that is the closest to zero, is bigger.

-4.9 -2/9 0

Greater than! With negative numbers, the number closer to 0 is always the greater value. The number farther away from 0 is the lesser value. When we compare fractions with the same denominator, we have to compare to numerator. -2 is greater than -4, therefore -2/9 is greater than -4/9.

Hello,

$u_{1} =4\\
 u_{2} =4*q\\
 u_{3} =4*q^2\\
...\\

 u_{9} =4*q^8\\\\
==\textgreater\ 4*q^8=1024\\
==\textgreater\ q^8=256\\
==\textgreater\ q=2\mbox{( and there is a problem in the question) } \ or \ q=-2\\
if\ q=2 \ then\ \sum_{i=0}^{8}\ 4*(2)^i= 4*\dfrac{1-2^9}{1-2} =2044\\

if \ q=-2 \ then\ \sum_{i=0}^{8}\ 4*(-2)^i= 4*\dfrac{1-(-2)^9}{1+2} =684\\

How much of a spice that is 30% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 65% salt in order to make a spice that is

klasskru [66]

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\
\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)
\end{array}$

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"
