Answer:
The statement is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that x is the required number.
Now, given that the number minus 3 is at most 12.
Hence, x - 3 ≤ 12
⇒ x ≤ 15 ......... (1)
And also given that 1 more than 2 times the number is at least 25.
Hence, 2x + 1 ≥ 25
⇒ 2x ≥ 24
⇒ x ≥ 12 .......... (2)
Therefore, from equations (1) and (2) we get the number must be greater than or equal to 12 or less than or equal to 15.
So, the statement is true. (Answer)
Answer:
9/20 yes, 4/15 not. See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick 9/20 and multiply numerator and denominator by 5:
9/20 = 45/100
We know that if we divide a number by 100 we need to move the coma as two places left, so:
9/20 = 45/100 = 0.45
And this is a terminal decimal as we know where it ends.
On the other hand if we pick 4/15 let try to divide it (here I will do it 'manually'):
4 |_ 15
we can divide 4 by 15, so we use 40 and begin with a comma
40 |_ 15
0.
15 enters 2 times in 40 with a rest of 10, so:
40 |_ 15
30 0.2
100
100 divided by 15 is 6 and we have 10 as rest again, and again and again...
40 |_ 15
30 0.266.....
100
100
....
So, we will have 0.266666666666666 infinitely. The decimal for 4/15 is non terminating and is 0.26666666666666666...
Answer:
First, we need to find the amount of dip that was divided amount the two friends.
We know that it is 4/7 of the left dip
therefore:
amount divided among the two friends = (4/7) x (3/4) = 3/7 of the original amount of dip.
This amount is divided among two friends,
therefore:
amount that each friend gets = (3/7) / (2) = 3/14 = 0.2 of the amount of dip
tell me if this is completely wrong because i'm not good at this
Answer: The answer is -19.5
Step-by-step explanation: This is because 1/2 is .5 in decimal form. A negative <em>PLUS </em>a positive = is negative since the <em>-20 i</em>s larger than .5
