Answer:

  1. Is a larger (more positive) than b?
  2. Is c larger (more positive) than d?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are less than zero, both are negative, but we don't know their order. We need to ask the order of a and b.

Since c and d are greater than zero, both are positive, but we don't know their order. We need to ask the order of c and d.

If you know a < b, then their order left to right on the number line will be a, b. Otherwise, it will be b, a.

If you know c < d, then their order left to right on the number line will be c, d. Otherwise it will be d, c.

Depending on the answers to the questions above, the order will be one of ...

  • a, b, c, d
  • b, a, c, d
  • a, b, d, c
  • b, a, d, c

As you can see, a and b will always be left of c and d.

If ( 43.65 ) ( 8.79 ) / x = ( 0.4365 ) ( 87.9 ) then value of x is:
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

  (d)  10

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by x and divide by its coefficient:

  (43.65)(8.79) = (0.4365)(87.9)x

  (43.65)(8.79)/((0.4365)(87.9)) = x

At this point, any calculator can give you the answer. It is, perhaps, more satisfying to work out the answer without a calculator.

  x = (43.65)/(0.4365) × (8.79)/(87.9)

In the first quotient, the numerator is 100 times the denominator; in the second, the denominator is 10 times the numerator.

  x = (100) × (1/10) = 100/10

  x = 10

_____

Moving the decimal point to the right 1 place multiplies the numerical value by 10.
