11 is the biggest and the 22
#22. We are given that y = 1/4. So, we want to plug this value into the expression 15/y:
15/(1/4)
When you divide by a fraction, you should follow the rule “flip the guy and multiply”. Basically, 15/(1/4) = 15 * 4 = 60.
The answer for #22 is (D).
#23. We can use a proportion:
(The shaded area)/(entire circle area) = (360 - 60)/360
But, we don’t have to find the areas of the region and circle; we can just solve the fraction:
(360 - 60)/360 = 300/360 = 30/36 = 5/6
The answer for #23 is (A).
Answer:
From left to right, -3/2, -4/5, -3/10, 1/2, 7/8, 4/3
Step-by-step explanation
So what we're trying to do here is to order the numbers from greatest to least.
Let's start off with the negative numbers.
-3/10, -4/5, -3/2.
Now what we want to do is give them all a common denominator to figure out which one is the least of that group.
-3/10,-8/10,-15/10.
Now on to the positive numbers.
1/2, 4/3, 7/8
Turn the denominator into 24.
12/24, 32/24, 21/24
Then put them all in order.
Some metals melt at lower temps than others. Tin becomes liquid at 231.8˚C (447.8˚F); at the other end of the spectrum, tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal: 3,422˚C (6,192˚F). Somewhere in the middle is mercury, which stays in a liquid state until its temperature drops to -40.
