Answer: Is 5/8 greater than 6/10? Is 5/8 bigger than 6/10? Is 5/8 larger than 6/10? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

5/8 = 0.625

6/10 = 0.6

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.625 is greater than 0.6.

Therefore, 5/8 is greater than 6/10 and the answer to the question "Is 5/8 greater than 6/10?" is yes.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

5/8 is greater than 6/10 or as decimals 0.625 is greater than 0.6 because 5/8, smaller fractions are always closer to a whole number which make them more, another way to look at it is 5 is 3 numbers away from 8, and 6 is 4 numbers away from 10, which makes -5/8 greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 = 0.625

6/10 = 0.6

So Therefore, 5/8 is greater than 6/10.

1500 soldiers arrive at a training camp. A few soldiers desert the camp. The drill sergeants divide the remaining soldiers into

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The number of deserters is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.

The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.

If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.

If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.

If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.

If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

$(1431-3)/11=1428/11=129.82\\\\(1466-3)/11=1463/11=133$

As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.

The deserters are 34:

$D=1500-1466=34$

The sum of two numbers is 15. Using x to represent the smaller of the two numbers, translate "the sum of twice the smaller numbe

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the smaller and y be the largest number.

Since x+y=13, we deduce y=13-x

Now, for the translation: "two more than the larger number" is y+2 , while "twice the smaller" is 2x

Their sum is y+2+2x

And since we know that y=13-x, we have y+2+2x=13-x+2+2=15+x
