Let <em>x</em> = 0.555…

Then 10<em>x</em> = 5.555…

Subtract one from the other to get

10<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 5.555… - 0.555…

Notice how the fractional parts on the right cancel. This leaves you with

9<em>x</em> = 5

and so

<em>x</em> = 5/9

Write a slope- intercept equation for a line with given characters m=-4/5, passes through (-4,-5)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{4}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-5)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{4}{5}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}]\implies y+5=-\cfrac{4}{5}(x+4) \\\\\\ y+5=-\cfrac{4}{5}x-\cfrac{16}{5}\implies y=-\cfrac{4}{5}x-\cfrac{16}{5}-5\implies y=-\cfrac{4}{5}x-\cfrac{41}{5}

Compare the two ratios is 6 : 15 less than 30 : 80 or greater than?
romanna [79]

Work:
6/15 = x/1
To get from 15 to 1, you have to divide by 15. So, to make an equal field, divide 6 by 15.

6 : 15 is the same as 2 : 5 or 0.4.

30/80 = x/1
To get from 80 to 1, you have to divide by 80. So, to make an equal field, divide 30 by 80.

30 : 80 is the same as 3 : 8 or .875.


Comparing the two, 30 : 80 is greater than 6 : 15.


Hope this helps. Have a good day.
