Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7,4)$

Required

Complete the equation y - 4.....

First, we need to determine the slope as follows:

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

$m = \frac{4 - 3}{7 - 2}$

$m = \frac{1}{5}$

The equation is then calculated as thus:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

This gives:

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}(x -7)$

Open bracket

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5}$

Add 4 to both sides

$y - 4 +4= \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{-7+20}{5}$

$y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}$

Turn it to improper fractions.

4 1/4 divided by 2/7

Divide them.

17/4 divided by 2/7

17 2 17 x 7

--- ÷ --- = --------- = 119/8 OR 14 7/8

4 7 4 x 2

-----------------------------------------------------

Distribute to take out the parentheses.

(x + 8) - (-3x - 5)

Combine like terms.

x + 8 + 3x + 5

Answer.

4x + 13

I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!! ;)

Answer:

7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the average height of each class.

4th Grade:

56, 47, 54, 51, 53, 58, 48, 54, 46, 53

Then you have add it all up and divide it by how many students there are.

56 + 47 + 54 + 51 + 53 + 58 + 48 + 54 + 46 + 53 = 520

520 ➗10= 52

Same process for the 7th Grade.

You end up getting 52 and 59. You then Subtract it to get the answer to the question.

52 - 59= 7 inches

Which statement about the equation 3/4y = 5/x is true?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

the answer would be no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

because, Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation

3/4y-(5/x)=0

and from there you may not do anything else.
