Sergei says that 10% of a number will always be less than 20% of any other number.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The statement is true sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> a number

y-----> another number

we have that

0.10x < 0.20y ----> inequality that represent the situation

Verify

For x=100, y=200

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

0.10(100) < 0.20(200)

10 < 40 -----> is true

For x=600, y=100

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

0.10(600) < 0.20(100)

60 < 20 -----> is not true

Therefore

The inequality is true sometimes

Answer 2
Answer: That statement is only true sometimes.  If you use 500 and 10, 10% of 500 is 50, while 20% of 10 is only 2.  Clearly, 50 is larger than 2.

Answer:

Your  answer is D. 16 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

10 1/12 + 6 2/3 = 67

4

= 16 3/4

= 16.75

Calculation steps

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 10 1/12 = 10 · 12 + 1/12

= 121/12

Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction:

6 2/3 = 6 · 3+2/3

= 20/3

Add: 121/12  + 20/3  = 121/12  + 20 · 4/3 · 4  = 121/12  + 80  12  = 121 + 80/12 = 201/12  = 67/4
