Use the benchmark 1/2 to compare 5/8 and 2/7

Mathematics

1 answer:

kondaur [170]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you used a compound statement, it would look like this.

2/7 < 1/2 < 5/8

One half is bigger than 2/7. It is much closer to 1/4 than 1/2. 1/4 = 2/8 so 2/7 is just a little bit less than that.

On the other hand 1/2 is just smaller than 5/8. 1/2 = 4/8 so you can see that 1/2 is less than 5/8.

Calculate the infant mortality rate (per 1,000 live births) from the following data:________.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Between 1991 and 2013, the infant mortality rate in the United States declined from 8.943% to 5.708 %

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The number of infant deaths under 1 year in the United States during 1991 = 36,766

The number of live births during 1991 = 4,111,000

$Infant \ mortality \ rate \ in \ 1991 = \dfrac{Number \ of \ deaths \ under \ 1 \ year}{Total \ number \ of \ live \ births \ in \ 1991} * 1000$

$Infant \ mortality \ rate \ in \ 1991 = \dfrac{36766}{4111000} * 1000$

Infant mortality rate in 1991 = 8.943%

From the data of year 2013 in the United States Record, 23,446 infants died under one year

$Infant \ mortality \ rate \ in \ 1993= \dfrac{23,466}{4111000} * 1000$

Infant mortality rate in 1993 = 5.708 %

Between 1991 and 2013, the infant mortality rate in the United States declined from 8.943% to 5.708 % which is approximately 3%

Joseph squares a number and subtracts 8 from the answer. He then divides this result by 7. Finally he adds 12 and the result is

ivanzaharov [21]

Let the number be X, then we find
$( {x}^{2} - 8) \div 7 + 12 = 20$
$( {x}^{2} - 8) \div 7 = 8$
$( {x}^{2} - 8) = 56$
${x}^{2} = 64$
$x = \sqrt{64} \: \: \: \: \: x = - \sqrt{64}$
$x = 8 \: \: \: \: \: x = - 8$
