Answer:

4/ 5

is greater than  

25 /40

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 5 and 40 is 40

For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 8 = 40,

4/ 5  =  4 × 8  5 × 8  =  32/ 40

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 40 × 1 = 40,

25 /40  =  25 × 1  40 × 1  =  25/ 40

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

32 /40  >  25 /40  or  4 /5  >  25 /40

Answer:

It is not true because if you multiply the denominator by 8, you will get 40 and if you also multiply the numerator by 8, you get 32 which is 32/40 which is not equal to 25/40.

Find the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 300 m long and 150 m wide at the rate of $6 per square m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$270,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the plot using the formula A = lw

A = lw

A = (300)(150)

A = 45,000

Then, multiply this by 6 to find the total cost:

45,000(6)

= 270,000

So, the cost to tile the plot is $270,000

A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart and creates a perpendicular to the line that connects these two stakes. He needs
aksik [14]

Answer:

A perpendicular bisector is a perpendicular line that divides a line into two equal halves

step by step:

To apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor will need to identify; the midpoint along the line connecting the two stakes

The reason why the surveyor needs to identify the midpoint is as follows:

According to the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, all points on the perpendicular bisector of a line are of equal distance from the line's endpoint

In order to apply the perpendicular bisector, the surveyor would need to identify the midpoint from which the third stake can be placed 100 ft. along a perpendicular bisector drawn from the midpoint

Therefore, the surveyor needs to identify; the midpoint along the line connecting the two stakes
