< 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:
length = 78 m , width = 27 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let w represent width then length l = 3w - 3
the perimeter (P) is calculated as
P = 2l + 2w = 210 , substitute values
2(3w - 3) + 2w = 210 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6w - 6 + 2w = 210
8w - 6 = 210 ( add 6 to both sides )
8w = 216 ( divide both sides by 8 )
w = 27 and l = 3(27) - 3 = 81 - 3 = 78
Then length = 78 m and width = 27 m
The awnser would be -11. A minus and a minus creates a plus so it adds up to -11
^ means to the power of or exponent
logb(x) = y is b^y = x
