Which fraction is larger 7/16 or 51/100?

2 answers:

5 0

51/100 would be larger
From the first look, I already know half of 100 is fifty and 51 is greater than that
So when I looked at 7/16, I was looking for something greater than half, but 7 is greater than half of 16.
51/100 is your answer

When you convert the fraction 7/16 into a decimal number you get 0.4375. when you convert the fraction 51/100 into a decimal number,, you get the decimal 0.51. this tells us that the fraction 51/100 is the larger fraction. to solve this for next time,, simply divide the top number of your fraction by the bottom number of your fraction to get what the decimal of your fraction is. whichever decimal is closer to 1 would be the larger fraction.

Elementary and secondary schools were classified by the number of computers they had.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

$Probability = 0.7259$

$Probability = 0.2741$

$Probability = 0.4414$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table

First, we calculate the amount of schools

$Total = 752 + 3352 + 18865 + 14016 + 46805$

$Total = 83790$

Solving (a): Probability of 75+ computers.

From the given table, schools with 75 or more computers have the population of:

$75\ or\ more = 14016 + 46805$

$75\ or\ more = 60821$

The probability is calculated as:

$Probability = \frac{75\ or\ more}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{60821}{83790}$

$Probability = 0.7259$

Solving (b): Probability of less than 75 computers.

From the given table, schools with less than 75 computers have the population of:

$Less\ than\ 75 = 752 + 3352 +18865$

$Less\ than\ 75 = 22969$

The probability is calculated as:

$Probability = \frac{Less\ than\ 75}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{22969}{83790}$

$Probability = 0.2741$

Solving (c): Probability of less than 10 computers.

From the given table, schools with less than 100 computers have the population of:

$Less\ than\ 100 = 752 + 3352 +18865+14016$

$Less\ than\ 100 = 36985$

The probability is calculated as:

$Probability = \frac{Less\ than\ 100}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{36985}{83790}$

$Probability = 0.4414$

The straight line L has equation <br><br> Find the gradient of L.

djverab [1.8K]

To calculate the gradient of a straight line we choose two points on the line itself. The difference in height (y co-ordinates) ÷ The difference in width (x co-ordinates). If the answer is a positive value then the line is uphill in direction. If the answer is a negative value then the line is downhill in direction.

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard with dimensions 12 cm by 10 cm, by cutting out square corners

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

x ≈ 1.8 cm gives the greatest volume

Step-by-step explanation:

After cutting x cm from each corner in each direction, the cardboard can be folded up to make a box that is x cm deep and (12 -2x) by (10 -2x) in length and width. Clearly, values of x are limited to 5 or less, since cutting 5 cm from each side would leave a width of zero. Then the volume is given by ...

V = x(12 -2x)(10 -2x)

The plot below shows the value of this cubic equation for volume, and identifies the peak as (x, V) ≈ (1.8, 96.8). That is, a cut of 1.8 cm will result in a box of approximate volume 96.8 cm³.
