Answer:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>
<u>OR</u>
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
It is required to compare Two-fifths, Six-sevenths, Five-eighths, and 1
Two-fifths = 2/5
Six-sevenths = 6/7
Five-eighths = 5/8
So, the given numbers are: 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1
We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least
The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers
So,
2/5 = 0.4
6/7 ≈ 0.857
5/8 = 0.625
1 = 1
So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:
0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1
So,
2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1
The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:
<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>
Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:
<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>
Answer:
#a. $80
#b. $1680
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- Amount invested (principal) is $1600
- Rate of interest is 5%
- Time = 1 year
We are required to determine the amount of simple interest earned and the amount or balance in the account after 1 year.
#a. Interest earned
To calculate simple interest we use the formula;
I = (PRT) ÷ 100
Where, P is the principal, R is the rate, T is the time and I is the simple interest.
Therefore;
I = (1600 × 5 × 1) ÷ 100
= $80
Therefore, simple interest earned is $80
#b. Balance of the account (Amount accrued)
We are going to use the formula;
A = P + I , where A is the amount accrued, P is the principal and I is the simple interest earned.
Therefore;
Account balance = $1600 + $80
= $1680
Thus, the account balance after 1 year will be $1680
The answer is 24 guppies. First find the volume of the tank, then divide that volume by 576 (you should get 8), then you multiply 3 guppies by 8 to get 2e
