Answer: The last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition a number written in scientific notation has the following form:

$a10^{b}$

Where <em>a</em> is the coefficient (which is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10) and <em>b</em> is the exponent (It must be an integer).

2. The decimal point of the coefficient must be wrriten after the first digit.

3. Based on this information, the number shown in the last option has the decimal point after the second digit, therefore, it is not written is scientific notation.

Roger served 5/8 pound of cracker wich was 2/3 of the entire box what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box

horrorfan [7]

Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8

Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

A. 2⅓ and D.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to select the values of x that makes the inequality x>½ true.

A. 2⅓

B. 0

C.-1½

D. 1

E.-¾

Options C and E are negative numbers and are therefore less than the positive number ½.

Option B(i.e. 0) is also less than ½ or 0.5 and therefore do not satisfy the inequality given.

Options A and D are greater than ½ and therefore satisfies the inequality given.
