One eighth is less than one seventh

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serjik [45]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that 1/8 is less than 1/7, the easiest way to do is convert it to decimals

1/8 = 0.125

1/7 = 0.14285714285 (Estimated - 0.14)

0.14 is a larger number than 0.125, therefore 1/8 is less than 1/7

Para encher 2/5 de uma piscina são necessários 60.000 litros de água. Qual é a capacidade dessa piscina?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A capacidade dessa piscina é de 150.000 litros de água.

Step-by-step explanation:

A capacidade da piscina é de x.

Para encher 2/5 de uma piscina são necessários 60.000 litros de água.

Isto implica que:

\frac{2x}{5} = 60000

2x = 60000*5

x = \frac{60000*5}{2}

x = 150000

A capacidade dessa piscina é de 150.000 litros de água.

Leah's age is twice her cow old are Leah and her cousin?usin's age. If they add their ages together they get 36. How old are Lea
nignag [31]
Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's. 
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now! 
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36   ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36     ... we add up the C's
C=12   ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3

So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))

My question is in the attachment.<br>​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

5 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the son's age be x then the father's age is x + 20

In 5 years

son = x + 5 and father = x + 20 + 5 = x + 25

Then

x + 25 = 3(x + 5) ← father is three times as old as son

x + 25 = 3x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )

25 = 2x + 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

10 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

5 = x and x + 20 = 5 + 20 = 25

si=on is 5 and father is 25
