The two number are 39 and 13
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"
Let the larger number be "a" and the smaller number be "b"
<em><u>Given that, sum of two numbers is 52</u></em>
a + b = 52 ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>One number is 3 times as large as the other number</u></em>
Larger number = 3 times smaller number
a = 3b -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
3b + b = 52
4b = 52
b = 13
<em><u>Substitute b = 13 in eqn 2</u></em>
a = 3(13)
a = 39
Thus the two number are 39 and 13

Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.

Answer: Choice D) -6 < -5</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices
- A) This is false because -2 is actually larger than -5. Make a number line and you'll see that -2 is to the right of -5. Numbers on the right are larger than numbers on the left.
- B) This is also false. The value 0 is smaller than 2. A number line might help show this.
- C) Also false. It should be 4 > -4. Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.
- D) This is true. On a number line, -6 is to the left of -5, so -6 is smaller than -5. This makes -6 < -5 a true statement.
