How to compare 2 5/9 and 21/3
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2 5/9 is less than 21/3;  2 5/9 < 21/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert 2 5/9 into an improper fraction</u>

2 5/9 = 2 * 9/9 + 5/9 = 18/9 + 5/9 = 23/9

<u>Step 2:  Convert 21/3 so the denominator is 9</u>

21*3 / 3*3 = 63/9

<u>Step 3:  Compare</u>

<em>23/9 < 63/9</em>

<em />

Answer:  2 5/9 is less than 21/3;  2 5/9 < 21/3

Given sinx= −3/5 when 3π/2 &lt; x &lt; 2π, find tan x/2
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

B -⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

sinx = -3/5

Adjacent² = 5² - 3² = 16

Adjacent = 4

tan(x) = -3/4

-¾ = 2tan(½x)/[1 - tan²(½x)]

-3 + 3tan²(½x) = 8tan(½x)

3tan²(½x) - 8tan(½x) - 3 = 0

tan(½x) = 3, -⅓

11. What is the perimeter of the garden?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

19\frac{1}{4} or 18\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the whole numbers

3, 7, and 8

18

Add the fractions

\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{4}

IF YOU WANT SIMPLIFIED NUMBER DO THIS

\frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}

18+1\frac{1}{4}=19\frac{1}{4}
