Which fraction is bigger 2/6 or 2/4

1 answer:

3 0

2/4 is the larger fraction. Think of a candy bar that is cut into 4 equal pieces. Now think of the same sized candy bar cut into 6 pieces. The candy bar that has been cut into sixths has more pieces but they are smaller pieces that the candy bar cut into fourths. **When comparing fractions, if the numerators are the same (like they are in this problem) look at the denominators. Whichever fraction has the greater number is actually going to be the smaller fraction (more pieces, but smaller pieces). If the denominators are the same, then the fraction that has the greater number in the numerator will be the larger fraction (more same-sized pieces than the other fraction) Hope that helps!

Write the linear system:

notsponge [240]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details).

Step-by-step explanation:

C) The linear system is:

$(-1)^{2} \cdot a + (-1)\cdot b + c = 5$

$c = - 4$

$(4)^{2}\cdot a + (4)\cdot b + c = 0$

After some algebraic handling:

$a - b + c = 5$

$c = -4$

$16\cdot a + 4\cdot b + c = 0$

By direct substitution:

$a - b - 4 = 5$

$16\cdot a + 4\cdot b - 4 = 0$

$a - b = 9$

$4\cdot a + b = 1$

$a = 9 + b$

$4\cdot (9+b)+b = 1$

$36 + 5\cdot b = 1$

$5\cdot b = -35$

$b = -7$

$a = 2$

D) The parameter values are: $a = 2$ , $b = -7$ , $c = -4$

E) The quadratic equation is $y = 2\cdot x^{2} - 7\cdot x -4$

Answer:

Correlation does not imply causation

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation is a statistical technique which shows how strongly a pair of variables are linearly related and change together.

Causation says that the change in one value will cause the other to change, making one variable dependent on the other.

Examples of correlation with causation are:

a) ice cream sales and summer temperatures

b) forest fires and summer temperatures

An example of correlation without causation is ice cream sales and forest fires. While they both increase as temperatures increase, ice cream sales are not CAUSING the forest fires.

From the information available it can be suggested that there is a correlation between sexual intercourse within a month prior to delivery as there is a higher number of fetus deaths to mothers who had sexual intercourse within a month prior to delivery. However, there is no information which shows the sexual intercourse caused the deaths. Additionally, 89% of the mothers of fetuses who died DID NOT have sexual intercourse within a month prior to delivery, thus even the correlation is weak in this case.
