Do you compare a negative decimal to a positive decimal?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Stephanie can type around 70 words per minute. She has less than a week to type her final research paper. If the paper has to be
Lana71 [14]
The answer is 1.25 hours.

STEP 1.
Each page has about 350 words:    1 page - 350 words
15 pages is x words:                         15 pages - x words
1 : 350 = 15 : x
x = 15 * 350 : 1 = 5250

So, she has to type at least 5250 words.

STEP 2:
<span>Stephanie can type around 70 words per minute:     70 words - 1 minute
x words in 1 hour = 60 minute:                                        x words - 60 minute

70 : 1 = x : 60
x = 70 * 60 : 1 = 4200

So, she types around 4200 words per hour.


STEP 3:
Now we have:
</span>- she has to type at least 5250 words
- she types around 4200 words per hour

5250 : x = 4200 : 1
x = 5250 * 1 : 4200 = 1.25 hours
