A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. A fraction can be a proper fraction, an improper fraction, or a mixed fraction.

<h3>What is a Fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

A fraction consists of two whole numbers, a number that is above the fraction line which is the Dividend, while the number that is below the fraction line is known as the denominator and is the divisor. The result or the answer which we get when we solve the fraction is the factor or can be said, it is the quotient of the operation.

Suppose there is a fraction, a/b which is equal to c, then,

a is the dividend, b is the divisor, and c is the quotient.

Answer:

The unit rate is accurately $\frac{1}{4}$ (km/minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,1/4) means that the vehicle traveled 1/4 km within 1 minute.

The unit rate for this problem is also known as the speed of the vehicle.

So to find the speed, you need to use distance over time.

---> Unit rate: $\frac{1}{4}\\$ / 1 = $\frac{1}{4}$ (km/minute)

(2,1/2) means that the vehicle traveled 1/2 km within 2 minutes.

Same process:

---> Unit rate: $\frac{1}{2}$ / 2 =

Because of this, the unit rate is accurately $\frac{1}{4}$ (km/minute)

A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept

Troyanec [42]

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill$
