why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it

John has a box of nails. The box contains 65 small nails, 40 medium nails, and 45 large nails. Susan has a box of nails that has the same proportion of small, medium, and large nails as John's box. There are 176 medium nails in Susan's box. What is the total number of nails in Susan's box? ​

Answers

Answer:

The total number of nails in Susan's box is 660 nails

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of small nails in John's box = 65

The number of medium nails in John's box = 40

The number of large nails in John's box = 45

The number of medium nails in Susan's box = 176

The ratio of the nails in John's box  is given as follows;

The ratio of small nails in John's box = 65/(65 + 40 + 45) = 13/30

The ratio of medium nails in John's box = 40/(65 + 40 + 45) = 4/15 = 8/30

The ratio of large nails  in John's box = 45/(65 + 40 + 45) = 3/10 = 9/30

Given that the proportion of the nails in John's box and Susan's box are the same, we have;

The ratio of medium nails in Susan's box =  8/30

Therefore;

Where the total number of nails in Susan's box = X, we have;

8/30 × X = 176

X = 176 × 30/8 = 660 nails

The total number of nails in Susan's box = 660 nails.

Using proportions, it is found that the total number of nails in Susan's box was 660.

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

John had 65 + 40 + 45 = 150 nails.The proportion of medium nails is: [tex]\frac{40}{150}[/tex]Susan's box has x nails.Of those nails, 176 are medium. Thus, the proportion of medium nails out of the total in Susan's box is of: [tex]\frac[176}{x}[/tex]

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

Since the proportions are equal:

[tex]\frac{40}{150} = \frac{176}{x}[/tex]

[tex]40x = 150\times176[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{150\times176}{40}[/tex]

[tex]x = 660[/tex]

The total number of nails in Susan's box was 660.

Answers

Answer:

This is incomplete, but i will answer it in a general way.

A function is something like y = f(x)

You can think in a function like a "machine", that eats an input (x) and transforms it into an output (y).

The functions have a rule: For all the possible inputs, the function can transform them into only one output.

This means that if we have for an input x1.

f(x1) = y1 and f(x1) = y2

So f(x) maps x1 into two different values, y1 and y2, then this is not a function.

Now, you want to change the point (1, 4) of a relationship in order to transform it into a function (so in the relation R we have two points with x = 1, and differet values of y). Then you need to choose the option that in the x-component does not have the same value that one of the other data points of the relation.

What is the function?

Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

The given functions are [tex]f(x)=x^4-4x^2+4[/tex] and g(x)=x³-2x²+4x-8.

Now, (f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

Q1) If Q is directly proportional to P and Q = 28 when P = 4, (i) express Q in terms of P, (ii) find the value of Q when P = 5, (iii) calculate the value of P when Q = 42.

Answers

Answer: i) Q=7*P   ii) if P=5 => Q=35 iii) if Q=42 => P=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Q is directly prportional to P that means that

Q/P=k=const ( where k is the prportionality coefficient)

So k= 28/4=7

So i)  Q= 7*P

ii) Q=5*7=35 if P=5 =>Q=35

Hector and Evelyn are solving the following problem. Find x,y, and z in this 45-45-90 triangle.

Answers

Answer: A. They are both incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3√2

y=6

z=3√2

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

45-45-90=1:1:√2

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

solve for x

x is the side accordingly to 90 in the smaller triangle, so it should be the [45] side times √2

3×√2=3√2

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

solve for y

y is the side accordingly to 90, so it should be the [45] side times √2

3√2×√2=6

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

solve for z

z is the side accordingly to 45 in the bigger triangle, x is also accordingly to 45 in the bigger triangle

Answer:

b  > 250/9 and w ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

7/9 (b - 27) > 49/81

First, simplify both sides of the inequality:

7/9b - 21 > 49/81

Add 21 to both sides

7/9b - 21 +21 > 49/81 +21

Multiply both sides by 9/7

9/7 x 7/9b > 49/81 x 9/7

b > 1750/81

Simplify

b > 250/9

11w - 8w ≥ 14w

Simplify both sides once again

3w ≥ 14w

Subtract 14w from both sides

3w - 14w ≥ 14w - 14w

-11w ≥ 0

Divide both sides by -11w

w ≥ 0

Answer:

4. 7/9 (b - 27) > 49/81

=> 7/9b - 21 > 49/81

=> 7/9b - 21 > 7/9

=> 7/9b -21 + 21 > 7/9 + 21

=> 7/9b > 7/9 + 189/9

=> 7/9b > 196/9

=> 7/9b / 7/9 > 196/9 / 7/9

=> To divide fractions, take the reciprocal of the divisor fraction and then multiply.

=> b > 196/9 x 9/7

=> b > 1764 / 63

=> b > 28

4th answer is b > 28

5. This question doesn't make any sense.

=> 11w - 8w greater or equal to 14w

=> 3w greater or equal to 14w.

If we make "w" as any number, this equation will not come true as 14 is larger than 3.

This answer may be correct the equation is like:

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to x+2y=6 that passes through (5, 8).

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

x+2y=6

2y = -x+6

y = -1/2x +3

This is in slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) so -1/2 is the slope

We want a line that is perpendicular so take the negative reciprocal of the slope

- ( 1/ (-1/2)) = 2

The slope of the perpendicular line is 2

y = 2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

8 = 2(5) +b

8 = 10+b

-2 =b

The equation of the line perpendicular is

y = 2x-2

Answer:

y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 6 can be solved for y (and thus for slope m) as follows:

    2y = -x + 6, or y = (-1/2)x + 3.  

Any new line perpendicular to this one has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of (-1/2); that would be +2.

Starting from y = mx + b,

Replace x with the given 5, y with the given 8 and m with the calculated +2:

8 = 2(5) + b, or

b = -2

and then the desired equation is

y = 2x - 2

C) Flower color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantitative variables are things that can be measured. A garden hose's length is measured in meters or feet. You measure the rainfall for a day in millilitres or liters. The weight of books on a shelf is measured in pounds or grams.

Categorical variables are often descriptions, such as C) Flower color.

Hope this helps!

Flower colors, generated from anthocyanins, flavonoids, or carotene which draw bone, trichromats, photoreceptor cells, tri- or tetrachromats butterflies & birds, that are supersensitive, blues, as well as green.

Quantity variables are measurable items.In meters or feet is measured the time of garden plants.The precipitation is calculated in milliliters or liters for one day.Books are assessed in pounds or grams in mass in a rack.That is why categorical variables, such as Flowers color, frequently are descriptions.

Therefore, the "Option C" is the only correct answer.
