Is 3/2 greater than 1? Or Less than

Mathematics

Answer:

3/2 is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A little trick to immediately know if a number is more or less than when it involves fractions versus whole numbers is that improper fractions will always be greater than 1.

If you want to confirm this, dividing 3/2 equals 1.5, ergo 1.5 > 1.

In essence, improper fractions will always represent a number greater than one contrasted to proper fractions because if you put it on a perspective (let's say you have 13 pie slices but you only needed 12, that means there is a pie slice that's extra that makes it greater than the original pie slices).

Hope that helps :)

A lifeguard fills a pool with water at a constant rate. After 12 hour, 13 of the pool is filled. At this rate, what fraction of

<h3>How to measure the rate of change of something as some other value changes?</h3>

Suppose that we have to measure the rate of change of y as x changes, then we have:

$Rate = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

where we have

$\rm when \: x=x_1, y = y_1\\when\: x = x_2, y= y_2$

Remember that, we divide by the change in independent variable so that we get some idea of how much the dependent quantity changes as we change the independent quantity by 1 unit.

(5 change per 3 unit can be rewritten as 5/3 change per 1 unit)

For the considered case, we can take time spent as difference of independent variable, and the amount of pools filled as the corresponding difference of the dependent variable.

in 12 hour time interval total 13 pools were filled.

That means

Rate of filling the pool is 13 pools per 12 hours or $\dfrac{13}{12}$ pools per hour.

Thus, at the considered rate the fraction of pool that is filled per hour is 13/12

Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points. (4.4) and (5.2) What is the slope of the line? Sel

harina [27]

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find slope <em>m</em>:

m = (6 - 4)/(2 - 4)

m = 2/-2

m = -1
