Answer:

12/17 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

12/17 is greater than 5/8 because to determine which fraction is greater you need to have the same denominator. To get the same denominator I multiplied 17 by 8 and 8 by 17. Since what you do the denominator you have to do the same to the numerator, you would multiply 12 by 8 and 5 by 17 which would lead you to get 12/17= 96/136 and 5/8= 85/136. So, 96/136 > 85/136.

Consider the function f(x)=−2/3x+1.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$f(3)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:-

$f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+1$

To find $f(3)$ we need to substitute 3 in place of x in the above equation i.e. $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3} x+1$

After substituting 3 in place of x we get,

$f(3)=-\frac{2}{3}\times (3)+1$

$f(3)=-2+1$

$f(3)=-1$

Therefore for function $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+1,\ f(3)=-1$

The number -5 is all of the following except

LenaWriter [7]

The correct answer is A. A whole number

Explanation:

In mathematics, whole numbers include numbers that do not include a fraction, for example, the number 4.2 includes a fraction, and therefore it is not a whole number. Moreover, whole numbers include numbers from 0 to infinity but not negative numbers. This means the number -5 is not a whole number because even then this does not include a fraction it is a negative number. According to this, this number is an integer (it does not include fractions), a rational number (it can be expressed as a fraction), and a real number (it can be represented in a line), but not a whole number.
