When we compare two fractions with the same numerator, which

Answer:

The fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take \frac{5}{6} and \frac{5}{10}. The larger the denominator, the more the number of pieces. So if you have a  pizza box divided into 6 slices, and they are all the same size, compared to that same box of pizza divided into 10 slices. Each of those 10 slices will be smaller than the 6 slices. Now if you eat 5 of the 6 slices, compared to if you eat 5 of the 10 slices, which one will make you more full and you know that you have eaten a lot? Of course, it is the 5 out of 6 slices because each of those slices is bigger. So the smaller the denominator of the fraction, the larger it is (if the numerator stays the same).

Catherine 168 pieces of gum playing at a bean bag toss in the county fair at school she gave three to every student in her math
Drupady [299]

Givens

Let the number of students in the class be x

Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x

Equation

3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.

3(x - 1) + 8 = 168      This doesn't work either.

Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.

3x + 8 = 168     Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = 168 - 8      Combine

3x = 160           Divide by 3 on both sides.

x = 160 / 3

x = 53.333333333

Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.

3x

Which is most likely the correlation coefficient for the set of data shown?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

-.91

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not 100% sure, because i don't have graphing calculator on me, but the correlation coefficient is how well the line of best fit goes with the data, and the data points on the graph look like they match the line. The closer the correlation coefficient is to 1 or -1, means that it has a strong correlation coefficient. It's negative because the slope of the line is negative. If you really want to make sure, you can plug it into a graphing calculator in STAT.

Evaluate the function:<br><br> f(x)=x2−4x, find f(−3)
VikaD [51]

Answer:

f(-3) = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you can replace all x's with -3 and then solve to find the answer.

f(x) = x^2 - 4x

f(-3) = -3^2 - 4(-3)

f(-3) = 9 - (-12)

f(-3) = 21

I hope this helps!
