Answer:
1 3/4 is greater than 1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To make a line that measures 1 3/4, make 2 regular lines.
2. Divide one of the lines into 4 equal sections and erase the one section and leaving you with 1 3/4.
To make the 1.5:
1. Make a line and make another line but that is half of the length of the previous line.
Answer:
1/64
Step-by-step explanation:
1/64=(1/8)^2
1/64=(1/4)^3
As the question states, let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant, and y be the number of hours of yard work.
We know that she can only work a maximum of 15 hours per work total, and that at she must work at least 5 hours in the restaurant.
Therefore:
r + y ≤ 15
r ≥ 5
We also know that she wants to earn at least 120 dollars, earning $8/hr in the restaurant and $12/hr in the yard:
8r + 12y ≥ 120
What is the maximum of hours Lia can work in the restaurant and still make at leas 120 hours?
Lia's parents won't let her work more than 15 hours, so we know that the answer won't be higher than 15.
If she worked all 15 hours in the restaurant, she would make 8*15 = 120.
The maximum number of hours she can work in the restaurant is therefore 15 hours
What is the maximum amount of money Lia can earn in a week?
Lia has to work a minimum of 5 hours in the restaurant. She makes more money doing yard work, so she should devote the rest of her available work hours to yard work.
That means that, given her 15 hour work limit, she will maximize her income by working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard.
5*8 + 10*12 = 40 + 120 = 160
The most she can make is 160 dollars, working 5 hours in the restaurant and 10 hours in the yard
You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.
3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply
4x = 3 * 236
4x = 708 Divide by 4
x = 708/4
x = 177
There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.

Answer: 12.5 (choice C)</h3>
=================================================
We apply the pythagorean theorem to find this answer.
a = 11 and b = 6 are the given legs
c = unknown hypotenuse
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
c = sqrt( a^2+b^2 )
c = sqrt( 11^2 + 6^2 )
c = sqrt( 121 + 36 )
c = sqrt( 157 )
c = 12.52996 approximately
c = 12.5
Side note: once you replace 'a' and b with 11 and 6, you can compute everything with a calculator in one single step more or less. The steps above are shown if you wanted to find the exact value sqrt(157).
