Is 5/6 equal to 2/3?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: They are not equal

=====================================================

Work Shown:

For now, let's assume they are equal. We'll show a contradiction happens.

5/6 = 2/3

5*3 = 6*2 ... cross multiply

15 = 12 ... here's the contradiction

If the original equation was true, then we would get the same thing on both sides in the final step shown above. However, we get a contradiction, so that means the original equation is false.

Furthermore, the left side is larger in the third step, so the left side is larger for each of the three steps. We can then say

5/6 > 2/3

5*3 > 6*2

15 > 12

Which helps show 5/6 is larger than 2/3.

---------------------

Or you can use a calculator to see that

5/6 = 0.833 approximately

2/3 = 0.667 approximately

which shows the two fractions aren't equal and 5/6 is larger.

A squirrel jumps along the number line. Each of its jumps is 5 units long. The squirrel sometimes jumps to the right and sometimes to the left. It starts at point 6. Can it land at this point? (The point is 101)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For some integer n, the squirrel lands on numbers that are ...

  5n +6

We want to see if n is an integer when ...

  5n +6 = 101

  5n = 95

  n = 19 . . . . yes, an integral number of jumps will get the squirrel to 101

Austin is planning a canoe trip with his dad and brother. They are taking a cooler and a few supplies that weigh a total of 89 pounds with them. The canoe has a maximum weight limit of 765 pounds. Which inequality can be used to find , the average allowable weight in pounds for each person in the canoe?

A. 3p - 89 > 765

B. 3p - 89 765

C. 3p + 89 > 765

D. 3p + 89 < 765

Answers

Answer:

3p + 89 < 765

Correct answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Austin, his dad, and brother make a group of three people of varying weights. Assume their average weight is p and their total weight 3p.

The cooler and other supplies weigh 89 pounds in total.

The weight of the supplies and the three people in the canoe should not be equal or exceed the maximum allowable weight of the canoe of 765 pounds.

This leads to inequality:

3p + 89 < 765

Correct answer: D.

Quadrilateral W X Y Z is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point W to point Y and from point Z to point X and intersect at point C. Line segments Z C and C X are congruent. The length of W C is 2 x + 5 and the length of C Y is 3 x + 2. In quadrilateral WXYZ, WC = 2x + 5 and CY = 3x + 2. What must x equal for quadrilateral WXYZ to be a parallelogram? x =

Answers

The value of x must be 3, for quadrilateral WXYZ to be a parallelogram

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{CY = 3x + 2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{WC = 2x + 5}[/tex]

From the question, we understand that:

Segments ZC and CX are congruent

This means that:

Segments WC and CY are congruent

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{WC = CY}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{3x +2 = 2x + 5}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{3x + 2x =-2 + 5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x =3}[/tex]

Hence, the value of x must be 3, for quadrilateral WXYZ to be a parallelogram

A.
O B. -
O c.
OD.

Answers

Answer:  m = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope is m = rise over run = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^2

which makes it 4-2 over 3-(-2) which equals 2/5

Youre answer is 2/5

Answer:

The slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 2) and (3, 4) is 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is denoted by m and is calculated using the formula:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here

[tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] are the coordinates of the first point on line and

[tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are the coordinates of the second point on line

Given two points are:

(x1,y1) = (-2, 2)

(x2,y2) =(3, 4)

Putting the values in the formula

[tex]m = \frac{4-2}{3-(-2)}\\m = \frac{2}{3+2}\\m=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Hence,

The slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 2) and (3, 4) is 2/5.

Angle QRS has a measure of 35°. Triangle QRS is rotated 90° clockwise about point R to create angle Q'R'S. What is the measure of angle Q'R'S?
PLEASE ANSWER URGENT

Answers

Answer:

The measure of angle Q'R'S' is 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The measure of angle QRS = 35°

The transformation applied to triangle QRS = 90° clockwise rotation

For a 90° clockwise rotation, we have;

Coordinate of the preimage (x, y), coordinate of the image after rotation (y, -x)

Given that the distance, d, between points is given by √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²), we have that the distance between points of the image will be given as follows;

d' =√((y₂ - y₁)² + ((-x₂) - (-x₁))²) = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₁ - x₂)²)

Whereby we have √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₁ - x₂)²) = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

Therefore, d = d' and the length of the sides and measures of the angles in ∠QRS and ∠Q'R'S' will be equal and ∠Q'R'S' = ∠QRS = 35°.

You need to follow the order of operations, so you would solve what is in the parentheses first. (I'm assuming that is the variable x in 2x and not a multiplication symbol. If it is, then just multiply 5 by 3 to get 15, and then multiply that by 2 to get 30) This will give you 15. Then you multiply 2x by 15 to get 30x.

by completing the square.
Give your answers correct to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4

(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt11}[/tex] ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex]

Thus

x = - 2 - [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

Alabama has 140 legislators, for 4 million people. If another state has 12 million people living in it, how many legislators would it have? How do you know?

Answers

Answer: 420 legislators

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we would have to multiply.

If Alabama has 140 legislators for 4 million people, we know the unit rate is:

[tex]140[/tex] legislators for [tex]4[/tex] million people.

So, we have to multiply 140 by 3 because 12 is 3 times the amount of 4, and the other state has 12 million people.

140 x 3 = 420

The answer to the question would be 420.

Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

I set this up as a proportion of 140/4,000,000=x/12,000,000. Then you can cross multiply, getting 1,680,000,000=4,000,000x. Divide both sides by 4,000,000 and you get x=420. Please mark brainliest if this helped!
