Answer:
0.75 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
6/8 is equivalent to 3/4
3 divided by 4 is 0.75
Since 6/8 is equivalent then it is also 0.75
Also 6/8 turn to 3/4 when both the numerator and denominator is divided by 2.
6 divided by 2 is 3
8 divided by 2 is 4
Complete question :
Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:
5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :
5 / 6 = 0.8333
Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;
5/6 = 0.8333
To the nearest tenth :
0.8
<span>Assuming that the particle is the 3rd
particle, we know that it’s location must be beyond q2; it cannot be between q1
and q2 since both fields point the similar way in the between region (due to
attraction). Choosing an arbitrary value of 1 for L, we get </span>
<span>
k q1 / d^2 = - k q2 / (d-1)^2 </span>
Rearranging to calculate for d:
<span> (d-1)^2/d^2 = -q2/q1 = 0.4 </span><span>
<span> d^2-2d+1 = 0.4d^2 </span>
0.6d^2-2d+1 = 0
d = 2.72075922005613
d = 0.612574113277207 </span>
<span>
We pick the value that is > q2 hence,</span>
d = 2.72075922005613*L
<span>d = 2.72*L</span>
