Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When comparing fractions and decimals/fractions and percentages/decimals and percentages, it's always good to convert them to have the same type on either side. However, you don't really need to with this problem.

Here's a trick: the larger the denominator is in a fraction, the smaller the value of the fraction is. If the fraction on the left were 5/10, then we know that it would be equal to 0.5 (you can convert either one). Now, since the denominator of the fraction is one greater than 10, we know that the fraction's value is just a little bit less than 5/10. This makes the fraction less than 0.5.

I hope it made sense. Brainliest would be cool but no worries.

2. A family buys a total of 32 tickets at a carnival. Ride tickets cost $1.50

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

let the number of ride ticket be x and that of the food ticket be y

x+y=32

1.50x+3.25y=90

y=32-x

1.50x+3.25(32-y)=90

1.50x+104-3.25y=90

-1.75x=90-104

-1.75x=-14

x=14/1.75

x=8

y=32-x

y=32-8=16

I would appreciate if my answer is chosen as a brainliest answer

Find the slope of the line

Inessa05 [86]

The two points (0,0) and (4,5) are on the line. The points are marked in blue in the attached image below.

Use the slope formula to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (5-0)/(4-0)

m = 5/4 <----- this is the answer in fraction form

m = 1.25 <----- this is the answer in decimal form

The idea of the slope formula is we're subtracting the y values together, then subtracting the x values together in the same order, finally we divide the two results and reduce if possible to get the fraction form. Use long division or a calculator to find the decimal form of the fraction. In this case, the rise is 5 and the run is 4. Meaning we go up 5 units and over to the left 4 units to go from (0,0) to (4,5).
