Answer:

y=31x/15 < y=27x/13 < y=15x/7 < y=13x/6 < y=11x/5 < y=21x/9 (=7x/3) < y=19x/8

Step-by-step explanation:

since all equations base on a linear, simple expression of x, we can simply compare the fractions.

in general, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the individual fraction. that is our first indicator.

we then notice that many fractions represent the value of 2 plus one fraction.

31/15 = 2 1/15

27/13 = 2 1/13

15/7 = 2 1/7

13/6 = 2 1/6

11/5 = 2 1/5

the only exceptions are 21/9 and 19/8

but 21/9 is actually 7/3 = 2 1/3

and fits therefore into the list above.

that leaves 19/8 = 2 3/8.

the list above can be sorted based on the single fraction at the end (remember, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the value). so, from least to greatest :

2 1/15 (31/15)

2 1/13 (27/13)

2 1/7 (15/7)

2 1/6 (13/6)

2 1/5 (11/5)

2 1/3 (7/3 = 21/9)

where did now 2 3/8 fit in ?

well, 3/8 is almost 1/2 (so, relatively big), and we start our comparison with the biggest number in the list so far :

1/3 (from 2 1/3).

what is bigger - 1/3 or 3/8 ?

let's find the smallest number that can be divided by 3 and by 8. that would be 24. so now we bring both fractions to the same base of 24.

1/3 = 8/24

3/8 = 9/24

=> 3/8 > 1/3

and therefore, 19/8 is the largest value and at the end of the list.

Write a problem that requires multiplying two decimals to find the answer. The product must have two decimals places.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

3.5 * 6.7 = 23.45

Step-by-step explanation:

(I am assuming you know how to do 2-digit by 2-digit problem, but just in case you don't I am putting in how to do it.)

You would multiply the problem like a normal 2-digit by 2-digit problem.

- multiply the ones places (5*7=35)

- you bring the 3 of the 35 and put it above the other 3

- you then do 7*3=21+3 because you moved it.

-so the first part of the question would be 35*7=245

-you go below the 5 and put a zero because you dont need the ones place anymore.

-you then do the same thing but with the tens place instead.

- You would then get 35*6=210, but you can't forget the zero.

- you would then add 245+2100=2,345

- But don't forget the decimals. you have to add the decimals to the answer.

- you count how many numbers that are behing both numbers, in this case it would be two.

- you then put the decimal after the ones and tens place.
