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 :)

WITCHER [35]

4b²+20b+25=0

Divide everything by 4

b²+5b+ 6.25=0

use the quadratic formula
x= (-b+ or - √b²-4ac) /2a
x= (-5 + or - √5²-4*1*6.25) /2(1)
x= -5/2 so
in this case, b= -5/2
