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.

Which statement about the reflection below is true?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The distance between C and P is equal to the distance between C’ and P

Step-by-step explanation:

From the description, the diagram is similar to the one in the attachment.

To answer this question, we that the corresponding vertices of a polygon after a reflection are all equidistant from the line of reflection.

From the diagram, the red dotted line joining C and C', meet on the line of reflectionat P.

This implies that |CP|=|C'P'|.

Therefore the correct answer is :

The distance between C and P is equal to the distance between C’ and P

A shoe box is 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. It is 3 inches tall. Sage is wrapping the shoe box and determined that she needs

muminat

Answer: $360\ in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to use the folllowing formula for calculate the Surface area of a Rectangular prism:

$SA = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw$

Where "l" is the length, "w" is the width and "h" is the height of the prism.

In this case you can identify that:

$l=10\ in\\\\w=6\ in\\\\h=3\ in$

Therefore, substituting values, you get that the surface area of the shoe box is:

$SA = 2(6\ in)(10\ in) + 2(10\ in)(3\ in) + 2(10\ in)(6\ in)\\\\SA=300\ in^2$

The 20% of this surface area is:

$(300\ in^2)(0.20)=60\ in^2$

Since she needs 20% more than the total surface area in gift wrap to cover the box and account for overlap, you get that total amount of square inches of gift wrap that she needs is:

$Total=300\ in^2+60\ in^2=360\ in^2$
