Step-by-step

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 price P of a good and the quality Q of a good are linked.
Irina-Kira [14]

the equilibrium point, is when Demand = Supply, namely, when the amount of "Q"uantity demanded by customers is the same as the Quantity supplied by vendors.

That occurs when both of these equations are equal to each other.

let's do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, 12.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{Supply}}{-\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Demand}}{\cfrac{2}{3}Q+1}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by 12}}{12\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35 \right)=12\left( \cfrac{2}{3}Q+1 \right)} \\\\\\ -9Q+420=8Q+12\implies 408=17Q\implies \cfrac{408}{17}=Q\implies \boxed{24=Q} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the found Q in the Demand equation}}{P=\cfrac{2}{3}(24)+1}\implies P=16+1\implies \boxed{P=17} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{Equilibrium}{(24,17)}~\hfill
