Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 $\frac{1}{2}$ =1× $\frac{2}{2}$ , + $\frac{1}{2}$

(- $\frac{3}{2}$ )÷ $\frac{3}{4}$ ×(- $\frac{2}{3}$ )

$\frac{3}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ ×4× $\frac{1}{3}$

4× $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$

How would I start to solve number 15? Would I use distributive property?

natita [175]

$-5-x=2x-(4x+6)$

Using the distributive property is the correct first step. $(4x+6)$ is being multiplied by -1, so distributing gives

$-5-x=2x+(-4x-6)$
$-5-x=2x+((-4x)+(-6))$

Now, using the associative property of addition, you get

$-5-x=(2x+(-4x))+(-6)$
$-5-x=(2x-4x)-6$

Simplify the right hand side:

$-5-x=-2x-6$

Add 5 and $2x$ to both sides.

$(2x+5)-5-x=(2x+5)-2x-6$

On the left side, use the associative property. On the right, commutativity and associativity:

$2x+(5-5)-x=5+(2x-2x)-6$

Simplify.

$2x-x=-1$
$x=-1$

Help me with 16,17,18,and 19 please simpl

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Ques 16)

We have to simplify the expression:

$\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{5t}{t^2+3t-18}-\dfrac{t-3}{t^2+3t-18})\\ \\=\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{4t+3}{t^2+3t-18})\\ \\=\dfrac{t^2-4t-3}{t^2+3t+18}$

Ques 17)

$\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{2w^2-9w+4}{(2w^2+9w-5)(w^2-w-12)}\\ \\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{(2w-1)(w-4)}{(2w-1)(w+5)(w+3)(w-4)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{(w+3)(w+5)}+\dfrac{1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7+1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{(3w-2)(w+3)}{(w+5)(w+3)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w-2}{w+5}$

Ques 18)

Let the blank space be denoted by the quantity 'x'.

$\dfrac{x}{12a^2+8a}+\dfrac{15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\ \\\dfrac{x+15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a(3a+2)}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a}=7a\\\\x+15a^2=28a^2\\\\x=28a^2-15a^2\\\\x=13a^2$

Ques 19)

Let the missing quantity be denoted by 'x'.

$\dfrac{p^2+7p+2}{p^2+5p-14}-\dfrac{x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\ \\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{(p-2)(p+7)}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=(p-1)(p+7)\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=p^2+6p-7\\\\x=p+9$

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior. He records how long they slept (in hours), how many bananas they ate, gender, age (in years), and the specific breed of monkey.

(a) What are the individuals in this data set?

(b) Identify the variables that were recorded, and indicate whether each one is categorical or quantitative?

Solution:

(a)

The term "individuals", in statistics, implies or denotes the objects or people included in a statistical study.

In this case it is provided that Mr. Molesky observes a group of monkeys for 24 hours to learn about their behavior.

So, the "individuals" in this data set are the monkeys.

(b)

Categorical variables belong to a certain category or label values. Such as gender of a person, state from which a person is from, color of the marble and so on.

Quantitative variables are those variables that assume numerical values and represent some sort of measurement. Such as height, weight, annual income of the people working at the same place and so on.

In this case the variables are:

Number of bananas the monkeys ate - Quantitative variable

Gender - Categorical variable

Age (in years) - Quantitative variable

Specific breed of monkey - Categorical variable
