Its different because 5:2 and 2:5 (or 5/2 and 2/5) have different numerators and denominators.

Answer:

It is not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 5/2 greater than 2/5? Is 5/2 bigger than 2/5? Is 5/2 larger than 2/5? These are all the same questions with one answer.

When comparing fractions such as 5/2 and 2/5, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below: 5/2 = 2.5

2/5 = 0.4 Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/5 and the answer to the question "Is 5/2 greater than 2/5?" is yes.

The owner of a toy store received a shipment of 1,552 party favors. The party favors came in 28 boxes. The same number of party

Svetradugi [14.3K]

let

x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box

the total number of party favors is 1,552

27x + y = 1,552

since 1552 = 57*27 + 13

if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

Last question! Please show work. Really need to get this done in 1 hour

Sav [38]

Answer:

x=1; y=2; z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange for convince:

2y-4z+6x = -2

-4y+2z-3x=-5

-6y+3z+4x=1

Now we take to pairs and eliminate the same var.:

2y-4z+6x = -2 *2

-4y+2z-3x=-5

and

-4y+2z-3x=-5 *-3

-6y+3z+4x=1. *2

We get:

4y-8z+12y=-4

-4y+2z-3x=-5

= -6z+9x=-9

and

12y-6x+9x=15

-12y+6x+8x=2

= 17x=17

We now know x = 1, so z is:

-6z+9=-9

-6z=-18

z=3

Let’s grab the first formula and find y:

6+2y-12=-2

6+2y=10

2y=4

y = 2

225 divided by 9 to figure out the number of crates needed.
225/9=25

So 25 crates are needed to load all boxes on the truck.
