In order to find this out, let's convert both of them into percents. Since 17.5 is already a percent, we only have to convert 1/6 into a percent. To convert 1/6 into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. If you do that, you will get 0.1666..... as a repeating decimal. Now, multiply the decimal by 100 or just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to get the percent. If you do that, you will get 16.6%. Since it is a repeating decimal, you can round it to 16.7%. So, 17.5% is larger than 1/6.
Hope it helps :)
Answer:
The product is 1.05
another pair of factors with the same product are 6/10 x 14/8
X-y=-1
x+y=5
y=x+1
x+x+1=5
2x+1=5
2x=4
x=2
y=x+1
y=2+1
y=3
70 you solve by making a proportion 2.8/x =4/100
The withheld tax is 3753.4
To get this you do 53,620 x .07
