Answer:

No

If the fraction is an improper fraction, the product would be higher

if the numerator of the fraction is smaller than the denominator, the product would be lower

2 x 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

2 x 4/3 = 8/3 = 2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

an improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator

The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below

an example of a fraction = \frac{4}{5}  

4 is the numerator while 5 is the denominator

viva [34]
Jeremy can choose his outfit in following ways:
2 ways to select a shirt
2 ways to select a pant
2 ways to select socks
3 ways to select the footwear.

Total number of ways to select the dress = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 ways

Jeremy will select an outfit that includes flip-flops, argyle socks and denim pants. The shirt is not specified, so the shirt can be any.

So there are 2 ways to select a shirt, 1 way to select the pant, socks and footwear. So Jeremy can select the desired outfit in 2 ways.

Thus, the probability that Jeremy will select an outfit that includes flip-flops, argyle socks and denim pants = 2/24 = 1/12

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y = -4x+10. A
ad-work [718]

first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept

the algebraic approach would work like this:

-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b

plug in what you got, here: the intersection information

-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b

-16 + 10 = 1 + b

-6 = 1 + b

-7 = b
