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.

Answer:

76.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the differential equation is an exponential curve with a horizontal asymptote at Tm. It passes through (0, 145) and (30, 95), so the equation can be written as ...

T = 80 +65((95-65)/(145-65))^(t/30)

T = 80 +65(3/8)^(t/30)

That is, the temperature difference is reduced to 3/8 of its original value in 30 minutes.

Since the coffee in cup B cools twice as fast, it will cool to the same temperature (95°) in 15 minutes. In the next 15 minutes, the temperature difference will be reduced to (3/8)^2 of the original 80°, so will be 11.25°. That is, the temperature of cup B will be ...

11.25° +65° = 76.25°

after 30 minutes.
