Answer: Less

Step-by-step explanation: Ok lets make them both have a common denominator. This is 36. So 1/4 is going to be 9/36 and 3/9 is going to be 12/36

Answer:

1/4 is less than 3/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take these fractions into decimal format.

1/4 = 0.25

3/9 = 0.33.

From this, 0.25 < 0.33

So, 1/4 < 3/9, or 1/4 is less than 3/9.

What is the Highest.Common.Factor of 18,26and 72

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

first find the common factors of 18,26 and 72.

18: 1,2,3,6,9,18

26: 1,2,13,26

72: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,18,24,36,72

next, find the common factors which can divide all numbers: 2

then find the highest factor which can divide all numbers. in this case, we only have one factor which is 2 and that shall be the H.C.F.

It takes 3 hours to paddle a kayak 12 miles downstream and 4 hours for the return trip upstream. Find the rate of the kayak in s

Furkat [3]

The rate of the kayak in still water is 3.5 mph

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that It takes 3 hours to paddle a kayak 12 miles downstream

Distance covered in downstream = 12 miles

Time taken to cover downstream = 3 hours

Also given that it takes 4 hours for the return trip upstream

Distance covered in upstream = 12 miles

Time taken to cover upstream = 4 hours

Formula to remember:

If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then: Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr and Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr

Let the speed of Kayak in still water = x mph

And The speed of current = y mph

For downstream:

Speed downstream = x + y

We know that $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$\frac{distance}{time} = x + y$

$x + y = \frac{12}{3}$

x + y = 4 ------ eqn 1

For upstream:

Speed upstream = x - y

$\frac{12}{4} = x - y$

x - y = 3 -------- eqn 2

Now let us eqn 1 and eqn 2

Add eqn 1 and eqn 2

x + y + x - y = 4 + 3

2x = 7

x = 3.5

speed of Kayak in still water = x mph = 3.5 mph

2. Sandy made several investments. She bought 1000 shares of a company’s stock for $8.60/share, she bought a bond with a face va

vampirchik [111]

The stock price per share was $8.60
Number of shares bought 1000
Total price for the shares:
(Cost per share)*(Number of shares)
=8.60*1000
=$8600

The stock price after 1 year $9.15
Total number of shares is 1000
Current price=(current share price)*(number of shares)
9.15*1000
=$9150
current value=(Current price)-(buying price)
=9150-8600
=$550

Net Profit=(Current value)-(Expenses)
=550-14
=$536

Is x^5 - 5x^4 + 4x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x + 1 a polynomial

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial Long Division :

4.3 Polynomial Long Division

Dividing : x5-5x4+10x3-10x2+5x-1

("Dividend")

By : x-1 ("Divisor")

dividend x5 - 5x4 + 10x3 - 10x2 + 5x - 1

- divisor * x4 x5 - x4

remainder - 4x4 + 10x3 - 10x2 + 5x - 1

- divisor * -4x3 - 4x4 + 4x3

remainder 6x3 - 10x2 + 5x - 1

- divisor * 6x2 6x3 - 6x2

remainder - 4x2 + 5x - 1

- divisor * -4x1 - 4x2 + 4x

remainder x - 1

- divisor * x0 x - 1

remainder 0

Quotient : x4-4x3+6x2-4x+1 Remainder: 0
