Answer:

<em>Decimal numbers can't be the whole number but the whole number is always included in Decimal Numbers.</em>

Further,

Whole Number: It is an all-natural number including zero (0).

Example, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,.....

It is an infinite but countable number.

Decimal Number: It includes integer as well as non-integer numbers. It is defined as the number whose whole part and fractional part are separated by the decimals.

Example, 1.545, -58.1, 454,1041115.0001, etc.

Identify if the given equation represents exponential growth or decay.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The first is decay, seeing as it is in between 1 and 0

The second is growth, as it is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It's exponential growth when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger. It's exponential decay when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.

John is creating a Thanksgiving display at the store where he works, using only canned pumpkin and canned green beans. He needs

mezya [45]

Answer:

The number of Pumpkin can used = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used = 16 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Pumpkin to Green Beans = 3 : 1

So, for every 3 can of Pumpkin, 1 can of green beans is used.

Now, the total number of John wants to use = 64

Let us assume the common factor in the ratio is m.

⇒ The number of Pumpkin can used = 3 m

The number of Green Beans can used = 1 m = m

So, the Total cans used = Number of (Pumpkin + Green Beans) can

⇒ 3 m + m = 64

or, 4 m = 64

⇒ m = 64/ 4 = 16

Hence, The number of Pumpkin can used = 3 m = 3 x 16 = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used = m = 16 cans

Simipified the exprestion -1.7+(-6.3).On the test when maureen simipified the exression she got -4.6. What mistake did maureen l

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.7 + (-6.3)

Correct simplification

-1.7 + (-6.3)

Open parenthesis

= - 1.7 - 6.3

= -8

NOTE:

- * + = -

- * - = +

+ * - = -

+ * + = +

Maureen's simplification

-1.7 + (-6.3)

= 1.7 - 6.3

= -4.6

Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7
