Answer:

Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

CLUE 1: The amounts were 2/5 cup, 3/4 cup, and 5/8 cup

CLUE 2: There is less celery than tomatoes.

CLUE 3: There is less tomatoes than carrots

From clue 2 and 3:

Tomato > Celery ; Carrots > tomatoes

From least to highest :

Celery < Tomatoes < Carrot

Arranging clue 1 in ascending order :

2/5 = 0.4

3/8 = 0.375

5/4 = 1. 25

Hence,

3/8 < 2/5 < 5/4

Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups

Does 10p/2q = 5p/q<br> I think it is not equal but it doesn't seem right.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: \frac{10p}{2q}=\frac{5p}{q}  (TRUE)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, fractions have the following form:

\frac{a}{b}

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator.

The numerator and the denominator are Integers, but the denominator cannot be zero (b\neq 0)

In this case you have the following equation provided in the exercise:

\frac{10p}{2q}=\frac{5p}{q}

To find out if the left side of the equation is equal to the right side, it is necessary to simplify the fraction on the left.

Notice that the numerator and the denominator of the fraction on the left  can be both divided by 2. Then, you can simplify it.

So, you get;

\frac{5p}{q}=\frac{5p}{q}\ (TRUE)

Solve 3.5x-2.8=-3.8x-7.2 graphically
pshichka [43]

x= -0.6

The graph is attached in the figure below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 3.5x-2.8=-3.8x-7.2

Simplifying:

3.5x-2.8=-3.8x-7.2

Combining like terms:

3.5x+3.8x=-7.2+2.8\\7.3x=-4.4\\x=\frac{-4.4}{7.3}\\x=-0.6

x= -0.6

The graph is attached in the figure below.
