Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator
In this problem we have
and 
Both numerator are equal
Compare the denominators
therefore
is the largest rational number
In this case x will equal 16
Answer: 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The relative frequency of the customers that buy computers is equal to the number of customers that bought a computer divided the total number of customers that entered the shop.
p = 25/100 = 0.25
If we take this as the probability, then the probability that the next customer that enters the shop buys a computer is 0.25 or 25%

−x * 2 < 4
-2x < 4
x > -4/2
x > -2

-x² < 4 has no solutions

We need to set up a proportion.
5/6.85 = 1/x The proportion is set up here.
x is the price per pound of apples. We need to solve for x.
Cross multiply.
5*x = 6.85*1
5x = 6.85 Now we must solve for x by isolating the variable.
5x/5 = 6.85/5 Divide both sides by 5.
x = 6.85/5
x= 1.37
Now, since x equals 1.37, we know that our unit price per pound is $1.37.
Final answer: $1.37 per pound of apples
