George is comparing two different phones. the screen of phone a has a width of 5.3 cm. the width of the screen on phone b
cm. which statement explains which phone has the wider screen?
the screens have the same width.
screen a is wider, because 5.3 is greater than 5
screen b is wider, because 5 3 is greater than 55.
screen b is wider, bed
ater than 5.3

The screen of phone B is wider because  is greater than 5.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

The width of screen of phone A=5.3 cm

The width of screen of phone B= cm

We have to find the statement explains which phone has the wider screen.

The width of screen of phone B= cm

The width of screen of phone B= cm

The width of screen of phone B=5.33 cm

Now, we make first like decimal number and then  we will compare.

Now, write zero at end of number in 5.3

Then, the number becomes 5.30 .

The hundredth part 3 in  5.33 is greater than hundredth part 0 of 5.30.

Therefore, 5.33 >5.30

Hence, the screen of phone B is wider because >5.3.

slope = rise/run

rise = -3 ... move down 3 units

run = 4 move to the right 4 units

Work Shown:

m = slope

m = rise/run

m = (change in y)/(change in x)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-17-(-2))/(24-4)

m = (-17+2)/(24-4)

m = -15/20

m = -3/4 is the slope

It basically means "move down 3 units, and move to the right 4 units"

So, slope = rise/run = -3/4

rise = -3 = move down 3 units

run = 4 = move to the right 4

You could express the slope as a decimal, and that would be -3/4 = -0.75, but you lose the rise and run values. So I recommend you keep the fraction.

Another problem with decimals is that sometimes we could have approximations that aren't exact. For example, if the slope was 2/3, then that approximates to 0.667 which may cause rounding errors down the line. Though I should point out that decimals do have their advantages in some cases.
