What is bigger 1/5 or .29

.29 is bigger.

If you convert 1/5 to a decimal (or simply solve it!) you will end up with .2 or .20
Which is obviously smaller than .29

The solution to #68 and #70

atroni [7]

The trick is to write appropriate equations and then solve the system of equations you've created.

"sum of two numbers is -5:" x + y = -5

"difference is -1:" x-y = -1

Add these two equations together. This will cause y to drop out, and you will be left with an equation in x alone:

2x = - 6, so x = -3. Subst. -3 for x in either equation, above, and find the corresponding y value.

Then write your solution as (-3, y ) (write in your value for y).

Please help!!! Ella and Margaret were at a carnival. They each got a ticket for the Ferris wheel. Ella got a snow cone, and Marg

Answer:

(B) $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation to represent this problem.

Let's assume $f$ is the cost of a ferris wheel ticket, $s$ is the cost of a snow cone, and $c$ is the cost of a cotton candy.

We bought two ferris wheel tickets, one snow cone, and one cotton candy. After a discount of 6 dollars, the price was 12.75.

This makes the equation $2f + s + c - 6 = 12.75$

Since we know the value of each ferris wheel ticket and the snow cone, we can simplify our equation by substituting in these values.

$2(5) + 3.50 + c - 6 = 12.75\\\\10 + 3.50 + c - 6 = 12.75\\\\7.5 + c = 12.75$

We can now subtract 7.5 from both sides to get the value of $c$ , the cotton candy price.

$7.5 + c - 7.5 = 12.75 - 7.5\\\\c = 5.25$

So the cotton candy cost $5.25.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

C: $V=4840 (2 s.f.)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is:

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

Therefore,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times(\frac{34}{2})^2\times 16\\\\V=4840 (2 s.f.)$
