4:5
explanation-
Express the given ratios as fraction
4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3
Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3
The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.
Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have
4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15
Clearly, 12 > 10
Now, 12/15 > 10/15
Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.
Answer:
3 * 20s
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out how much Mr. Hartman will spend in total we first need to multiply the price of the keyboard and mouse by the number of computers in a single computer station. Once we have these products we add them together. Finally, we multiply this new value by 3 since there are a total of 3 computer stations. If we turn this into an expression it would be the following...
3 * (13.50s + 6.50s)
We can even simplify this by first adding the cost of the keyboard and mouse and then multiplying by s
3 * 20s

Answer:
32 5/8 (or 32 and 5/8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so this problem is asking for us to solve this problem with the substitution of a variable: x = -4. Before we fully solve this problem, we need to replace all of those x variables with -4 so that it is easier to solve.
-7 1/4(-4) + 3 5/8.
To make this problem even easier to solve, let's turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions. To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number. Then add the numerator to this number. The new number that you just got is now your new numerator for this number.
-29/4(-4) + 3 5/8.
Repeat the last step to turn the other mixed number into an improper fraction.
-29/4(-4) + 29/8.
Now let's multiply that -4 by 29/4. Because a whole number technically has a denominator of 1, we can now set up the next part of our problem. (The symbol * means multiplication since we can't use x since it is already being used as a variable in this equation.)
(-29/4 * -4/1) + 29/8.
29 + 29/8.
Now to solve the rest of this problem, let's convert the whole number of 29 so that it has a denominator of 8. This is that these two numbers are addable.
<u>29</u> x <u>8</u> = <u>232</u>
1 x 8 = 8
Now these numbers are addable. So:
232/8 + 29/8 = 261/8 = 32 5/8.
I hope that this helps.
