2 answers:

7 0

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.

the copy machine at the library made a copy of leslie's 3 page essay in just 1/10 of a minute. what is the speed of the copy mac

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

<h2><em>30page essay/min</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Speed = Distance/Time

If the library made a copy of leslie's 3 page essay in just 1/10 of a minute, this means that she made 3 pages in (1/10 * 60)secs i.e 6secs

To get the speed, we need to calculate the amount of page of essay that are produced in a minute (60secs).

If 3 page essay = 6secs

x page essay = 60 secs

cross multiply

3*60 = 6x

180 = 6x

x = 180/6

x = 30

<em>This shows that 30 page essays are produced in just a minute. Hence the speed of the copy machine is 30page essay/min.</em>
