Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.

A small town's phone numbers either begin 373 or 377. How many phone numbers are available?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>There are 20,000 number available.</em></u>

Explanation:

To determine <em>how many phone numbers are available </em>you need to know how many digits the number contains.

I will assume the same number of digits for other similar questions, i.e. 7.

With 7 digits, the numbers that begin with 373 or 377 can be of the form 373XXXX or 377XXXX.

Where each X can be any digit 0 - 9. Then, there are 10 different options for each X.

Thus, there are 10×10×10×10 = 10,000 different numbers starting with 373 and other 10,000 different numbers starting with 377.

In total, there are 20,000 numbers available.

The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2:5 .After Patricia bought another 75 beads,t
blondinia [14]
K:P=2:5
P+75 it is 4:15
at first, P=5 units
so we have
2:5 and 4:15
since the K units didn't change we conver them to the same
2:5 times 2:2=4:10
so from 4:10 to 4:15 is a change of 75 in the right side
therefor 75=5 units so 75/5=15/1= 1 unit
so at first K=4 units=4 times 1 unit=4 times 15=60
P=10 units so 10 times 15=150

at first
Karen=60
Patricia=150
