Answer:

5/6 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

First obtain a common denominator for the fractions. Multiply the denominator of one fraction to the denominator of another and that is the denominator for the new fractions (54). Then multiply the denominator of one fraction to the numerator of the other one to obtain the new numerator. (e.g. 5*9=45 so 5/6 ->45/54) do this to the other fraction and you will see that 7/9 -> 42/54 and 45/54 is greater than 42/54 so 5/6 is greater .

Answer:

5/6 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find which one is greater, you can find a common denominator. lets say 54, Both 6 and 9 factor into 54.

So 5/6 turns into 45/54 ( 5 times 9= 45, 6 times 9=54)

and 7/9 turns into 42/54 ( 7 times 6=42, 9 times 6=54)

Answer:

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between Earth and Jupiter = 5.9 × 10⁸ kilometers

Distance between Earth and Mercury = 7.7 × 10⁷ = 0.77 × 10⁸ kilometers

So, we see that,

5.9 × 10⁸ > 0.77 × 10⁸

Also, Ratio = $\frac{5.9\times 10^8}{0.77\times 10^8} =7.66$

That is,

'The closest distance between Earth and Jupiter is greater than the closest distance between Earth and Mercury by approximately 7.66 times'.

Heather makes $6.50 per hour. Every three months, she is eligible for a 2% raise. How much will she make after 2 years if she ge

sammy [17]

Answer:

$7.62 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Heather gets a raise every 3 months, in 2 years, she will get a raise 8 times (2years = 24 months, 24 divided by 3 is 8).

Now it becomes a compound growth problem. We can use the formula shown below to solve these type of problems.

$F=P(1+r)^t$

Where,

F is the future value (what we want to find)
P is the present rate ($6.5)
r is the rate of growth, in decimal (2% growth means 0.02)
t is the time frame, number of times compounding occurs (for our case we have figured it to be 8)

<u>Now plugging in all the info, we get the value of F:</u>

$F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6.5(1+0.02)^8\\F=6.5(1.02)^8\\F=7.62$

Thus, after 2 years, Heather's hourly rate will be $7.62

Forty percent of households say they would feel secure if they had $50,000 in savings. you randomly select 8 households and ask

Kay [80]

Answer:

Let X be the event of feeling secure after saving $50,000,

Given,

The probability of feeling secure after saving $50,000, p = 40 % = 0.4,

So, the probability of not feeling secure after saving $50,000, q = 1 - p = 0.6,

Since, the binomial distribution formula,

$P(x=r)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}$

Where, $^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

If 8 households choose randomly,

That is, n = 8

(a) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is exactly 5

$P(X=5)=^8C_5 (0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}$

$=56(0.4)^5 (0.6)^3$

$=0.12386304$

(b) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is more than five

$P(X>5) = P(X=6)+ P(X=7) + P(X=8)$

$=^8C_6 (0.4)^6 (0.6)^{8-6}+^8C_7 (0.4)^7 (0.6)^{8-7}+^8C_8 (0.4)^8 (0.6)^{8-8}$

$=28(0.4)^6 (0.6)^2 +8(0.4)^7(0.6)+(0.4)^8$

$=0.04980736$

(c) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is at most five

$P(X\leq 5) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)$

$=^8C_0 (0.4)^0(0.6)^{8-0}+^8C_1(0.4)^1(0.6)^{8-1}+^8C_2 (0.4)^2 (0.6)^{8-2}+8C_3 (0.4)^3 (0.6)^{8-3}+8C_4 (0.4)^4 (0.6)^{8-4}+8C_5(0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}$

$=0.6^8+8(0.4)(0.6)^7+28(0.4)^2(0.6)^6+56(0.4)^3(0.6)^5+70(0.4)^4(0.6)^4+56(0.4)^5(0.6)^3$

$=0.95019264$

Se vendieron un total de 430 boletos para la obra de teatro escolar. Los boletos eran o de adulto o de estudiante. Se vendieron

BartSMP [9]

Resolviendo un sistema de ecuaciones, veremos que se vendieron 250 boletos de adulto.

<h3>¿Cuántos boletos de adulto fueron vendidos?</h3>

Definamos las variables:

x = boletos de adulto vendidos.
y = boletos de estudiantes vendidos.

Se vendieron un total de 430 boletos, entonces:

x + y = 430

Y se vendieron 70 boletos de estudiante menos que boletos de adulto:

y = x - 70

Tenemos el sistema de ecuaciones:

x + y = 430

y = x - 70

Para resolverlo, podemos reemplazar la segunda ecuación en la primera:

x + y = 430

x + (x - 70) = 430

2x = 430 + 70 = 500

x = 500/2 = 250

Se vendieron 250 boletos de adulto.
