No, not always.

Yes in some cases, like 100 is greater than 0. But -100 is less than zero. So it depends on the number.

Answer:

No it is not, in most common number systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative numbers can be far from 0 in magnitude, however, they are always smaller than 0 itself. The only common number system that has no negative numbers are the Natural numbers, so the Answer should be more precisely "No it is not, with the exception of Natural numbers." My assumption is that the question is posed in context of the most commonly used system of Real numbers and so the answer is negative.

A bowl has only red, green, and purple grapes. The probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picki

Xelga [282]

The probability of picking a green grape is 1/2.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.

Since the probability of picking a red grape out of the bowl, eating it, and then picking a green grape out of the bowl is 1/8 and probability of picking just a red grape is 1/4 .

The probability of green grape will be the division. This will be:

= P(R and G) / P(R)

= 1/8 ÷ 1/4

= 1/8 × 4/1

= 1/2

The probability is 1/2.

PLEASE HELP SOON What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x =

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

x =39°

the total interior angles of a triangle is 180°

let the unknown angle be x,

solve:

x + 39 + 102 = 180°

x = 180° - 39° - 102°

x = 39°

Therefore the unknown angle is 39°

one number is four times as large as another if the numbers are added together the result is six less than seven times the small

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by working with the information we have and setting up some equations.

We know that one number is four times as large as another. So, let the smaller number be represented by the variable x and the bigger number be represented by 4x, since it is four times as large.

Now, we know that if the numbers are added together, then the result is six less than seven times the smaller number. This can also be represented by the equation 4x + x = 7x - 6.

Let's solve that equation like so:

$4x + x = 7x - 6\\5x = 7x - 6\\-2x = -6\\x = 3$

So, the smaller number must be 3 (remember that x represented the smaller number). To find the bigger number, all we need to do is multiply 3 by 4, which gives us 12. Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 3.
