I'm going to put it into decimals because it is easier.

3.5*1.5=5.25 or $5 \frac{1}{4}$

Hope that helps

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>(Check attached images).</em>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3>Exercise 1.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

To order the numbers from least to greaters, convert them to decimals and compare.

$5.2(percent)=0.052\\ \\\frac{1}{7} =0.1429\\\\ -0.8=-0.8000\\ \\\frac{-11}{5} =-2.2$

b. Select the second least number.

-0.8.

<h3>Exercise 2.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

$-3.4(percent)=-0.034\\ \\-0.031\\\\ -0.2\\ \\-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

b. Select the correct number.

$-\frac{1}{5}$ .

<h3>Exercise 3.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the positive numbers.</em>

<em>59%=0.59</em>

<em>3/5=0.6</em>

<em />

b. Select the correct number.

3/5.

<h3>Exercise 4.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

-0.35

-3.5%= -0.035

b. Conclude.

Seeing that -3.5% is less than -0.35, the symbol that makes the statement true is ">".

<h3>Exercise 5.</h3>

a. Try to visually estimate b.

B appears to have a value of -0.9.

b. Convert the numbers to decimals.

-3.4%= -0.034

-0.031

-1/5= -0.2

$-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

c. Select the correct answer.

<em>Since we estimated the value of b as -0.9, the number that best adequates to its value is </em> $-\sqrt{0.8}$ .

<h3>Exercise 6.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the positive numbers.</em>

5.2%= 0.052

1/7= 0.1429

b. Select the correct number.

5.2% is the second largest.

<h3>Exercise 7.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

6/7= 0.857143

0.857

b. Select the correct answer.

Seeing that 0.857 is marked as an approximate by the

ellipsis, and considering that 6/7 is an irrational numbers, we can conclude that the number that better fits the situation and makes the statement true is "=".

<h3>Exercise 8.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the negative numbers.</em>

<em>-4.6</em>

<em /> $-\sqrt{21} =-4.5826$

b. Select the correct answer.

The smallest number is -4.6.

Suppose f varies directly as g, and f varies inversely as h. Find g when f = 12 and h = 10, if g = 198 when h = –11 and f = –6.

sattari [20]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

f varies directly as g

f = kg where k is the constant of variation

f varies inversely as h

f = kg/h

We know g = 198 when h = –11 and f = –6. Substituting in

-6 = k*198/(-11)

-6 =k*(-18)

Dividing each side by -18

-6/-18 = k*-18/-18

1/3 =k

Our equation is

f = 1/3 g/h

Letting f = 12 and h = 10

12 = 1/3 g/10

Multiply each side by 10

12*10 =1/3 g/10*10

120 = 1/3 g

Multiply each side by 3

120*3 =1/3 g *3

360 =g
