Answer:

Positive: Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is always greater than a negative decimal.

Negative: When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

All of it put together (same text as above):

Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is ALWAYS greater than a negative decimal. When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

Randy won 36 out of 54 games of tic tac toe. what percent of the games did he win

Archy [21]

36/54 = x/100

54x = 100 * 36
54x = 3600
x = 3600 ÷ 54
x = 66.666666.... so 66.67

First put it into a proportion and then cross multiply. After that you divide both sides by 54 to get x alone which gives you 66.66666 which is rounded to 66.67

Answer: 66.67%

Answer:

INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED: write the sum as a mixed number where the fractional number is less than one.

5/5 out of the 7/5 make ONE whole while 2/5 is left over.

The ONE whole is added to nine to make 10 and the remaining 2/5 is also added to the 10 hence 9 7/5 = 10 2/5
