Compare. -13/15 _ -5/6

Mathematics

Answer:

Your answer should be -13/15 < -5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want to get the fractions to common denominators which in this case is 30.

So -13/15 = -26/30 (13*2 = 26, 15*2 = 30.)

And -5/6 = -25/30 (5*5 =25, 6*5 = 30.)

Since the fractions are also negative, the number closest to 0 would be the greater fraction. Which in this case would be -5/6. I hope this helps you! :)

Place of 2's 10s and 10,000s

Therefore its value is 20 and 20,000

Product of the place value = 20 x 20,000 = 4,00,000

37,20,861

Place of 7 is 1,00,000

Therefore the place value is 7,00,000

Greatest 7 digit number is 99,99,999

Adding 1 to it = 99,99,999 + 1 = 1,00,00,000

85642 = 80000 + 5000 + 600 + 40 +2

round off 85642 to nearest thousand = 86,000

The question above was not written properly

Complete Question

Lacey and Haley are rewriting expressions in an equivalent, simpler form.

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

Answer:

a) Haley is correct, Lacey simplified wrongly.

b) Haley is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

For Question a, when it comes to simplifying algebraic expression that has to do with powers, there are certain rules that should be followed.

For example

x^a × x^b = x^(a + b)

For Haley, she simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

She is correct because this follows the product rule of powers or exponents above

= x³⋅ x² = x³+² = x⁵

For Lacey she is wrong because:

x³ + x² ≠ x⁵

x³ + x² when simplified as quadratic equation = x²(x + 1)

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

For question b, when we have two distinct or different numbers with the same power(exponents) the rule states that:

x^a × y^a = (x × y)^a = (xy)^a

Haley is simplified wrongly. She did not apply the rule above

Haley simplified 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵+⁵

= 12^10, this is wrong.

The correct answer according to the rule =

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵ = 12⁵

Therefore,

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ ≠ 12^10

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = 12⁵

Haley is wrong.

The diameter of cold virus cell is about 3x10-9 meter,and the diameter of a streptoccus bacterium cell is about 9x10-7 meter. Wh

Archy [21]

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.

We will see that the bacteria is 300 times larger than the virus.

We know that:

The diameter of the virus-cell is:

$D_v = 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m$

The diameter of the bacteria cell is:

$D_b = 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m$

So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to compare the numbers.

Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus the bacteria should be the larger one.

But let's prove this with math, remember the property:

$\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n - m}$

Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the diameter of the bacteria in the numerator, thus if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.

$quotient = \frac{ 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m}{ 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m} = \frac{9}{3} \cdot 10^{-7 + 9}\\\\= 3*10^2$

So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.
