< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
Answer:
4.5 mph or 9/2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the rate of the current
Formula: Distance = rate x time
where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours
15=(12-x)(2)
15=24–2x
2x=24–15
2x= 9
x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 goes into 6 evenly so two times three equals six so you multiply 1 by three and it gives you 3/6
We have learned that, in in an algebraic expression, letters can stand for numbers. When we substitute a specific value for each variable, and then perform the operations, it's called evaluating the expression. Let's evaluate the expression 3y + 2y when 5 = y.
<span>First we define Charlene's the average time, which is (8.4 + 8.6 + 8.3 + 8.5 + 8.7 + 8.5)/6 = 8.5. Normal time is 8.5/1.1 = 7.7. Charlene is faster than normal.</span>
