When you divide with fractions you have to multiply the "dividend" with the reciprocal of the "divisor".
2 1/2 in improper fraction is 5/2
5 x 2/5 = 10/5 = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a < (a + b)/2 < b
Solve the first inequality.
a < (a + b)/2
2a < a + b
a < b
Solve the second inequality.
(a + b)/2 < b
a + b < 2b
a < b
Both inequalities are true. Therefore, a < (a + b)/2 < b.
The 7 before the decimal would be classified as a tenth
The answer is x-1, hope that helps
