Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: In order to decide whether the given fractions are equivalent, first write each fraction in lowest terms.

A fraction is written in lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1.

So for our first fraction, 4/9, since the greatest common factor of 4 and 9 is 1, we know that are fraction is already written in lowest terms.

For our second fraction however, since the greatest common factor of 20 and 36 is 4, we must divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4 to write our fraction in lowest terms. This gives us 5/9.

Since 5/9 is bigger than 4/9, te fractions are not equivalent so no, 4/9 is not equivalent to 20/36.

No because

36 / 9 = 4

20 / 4 = 5

So they are multiplied by different amounts so they aren’t equivalent

Write the sentence as an inequality. 5 is no greater than 4 times a number minus 2.5.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

5 ≤ 4x - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities

The expression "no greater than" can be better expressed as "less or equal than".

The expression 4 times a number, being x the unknown number can be written: 4x

Thus, the equivalent inequality of the sentence is:

5 ≤ 4x - 2.5

Use a calculator to solve this problem: 28 + 27 × 36

Annette [7]

For this case we have that according to the order of algebraic operations PEMDAS, the multiplications have priority over the addition and subtraction, then, we have the following expression:

$28 + 27 * 36 =\\28 + 972 =\\1000$

Thus, the value of the expression is 1000.

Answer:

$28 + 27 * 36 = 1000$

Answer:

infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear equation in two variables be ax+by+c=0

Put values

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1a+3b+c=0$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto a+3b+c$

Hence for any values it has infinite number of solutions .

1.Give one number that makes the inequality x + 7 > 20 true

nata0808 [166]

1. Any number above 13 works. Why? Because 20-7=13, and to be greater than 20, you must add a number larger than 13.

Examples: 14+7 > 20, 30+7 > 20, 100+7 > 20

2. Any number below 25/3 (which is also 8.3 with a repeating 3) works. Why? Because 25/3=8.3 with a repeating 3, and to remain less than 25, you must multiply by a number less than 8.3 with a repeating 3.

Examples: 3(8) < 25, 3(5) < 25, 3(0) < 25

3. 4 buses. 1 bus will hold 60 students, 2 will hold 120, 3 will hold 180, and 4 will hold 240. The question is trying to trick you into putting now 3.3333333333... buses because that's what 200/60 is, but there is no such thing as a third of a bus. So you need at least 4 buses. (There will be an extra 40 spaces for passengers on the 4th bus, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 200/60 and got 3.3 with a repeating 3. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 3 buses leaves you with 20 students without a bus.

4. 19 boxes. 18 boxes will only hold 288 candies. The question is trying to trick you into putting down 18.75 boxes because that's what 300/16 is, but there is no such thing as 75% of a box. So you need at least 19 boxes. (There will be an extra 4 spaces for candies in the 19th box, but that is okay.)

To find this answer I did 300/16 and got 18.75. You must round to the higher whole number. Rounding down to 18 boxes leaves you with 12 candies without a box.
