Fractions and decimals are simply two different ways of expressing a number. A fraction expresses a number in the form of two other numbers, where the top number in the fraction is being divided by the bottom number. ie. if the fraction was written as x/y, then the fraction would be expressing the number x divided by the number y. A decimal, on the other hand is an expression of a number in a more traditional form, in one single line of numbers, with a decimal point preceeding all of it. To convert a fraction to a decimal, we do what the fraction says, in that we divide the top number by the bottom number. For example, the fraction 3/4 (3 quarters) = 0.75, as 3 divided by 4 = 0.75. The reason we use fractions and dont just make everything a decimal, is that sometimes it is easier to calculate something or express a number using a fraction. For example, when working with irrational numbers, the decimal is actually infinite, so it is impossible to write as a decimal and be 100% accurate, however if written as a fraction, it can be expressed exactly. For example the fraction 1/3 = 0.333333 where the 3s continue forever :))

Evaluate the following expression 5(1 3)-3(2 -1)

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem tests your understanding of order of operations rules.

Here you must do any work inside parentheses first, followed by multiplication, followed by subtraction:

5(13) - 3(2 -1) would be 65 -3(1), or 62.

If you actually meant 5(1 - 3) - 3(2 - 1), then you'd have

5(-2) - 3(1) = -10 - 3 = -13

Please compare the problem you've shared with the original problem, to ensure that these match.

Which number is equal to –906,060? –9. 0606 Times. 105 –9. 06 Times. 105 9. 06 Times. 10–5 9. 0606 Times. 10–5.

Nostrana [21]

The B option is correct.

<h2>Exponent</h2>

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

Given

A number is -906,060.

The equivalent number of the given number.

<h3>How to find the equivalent number of the given number?</h3>

We know the number is -906,060.

It can be represented as $\rm -906,060 = -9.0606 \ times\ 10^5$ .

Thus, the B option is correct.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points A (2,1) B (7,9)

Bezzdna [24]

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{9 - 1}{7 - 2} = \frac{8}{5} = 1\frac{3}{5}$
      y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
       y - 1 = 1³/₅(x - 2) Point - Slope Form
       y - 1 = 1³/₅(x) - 1³/₅(2)
       y - 1 = 1³/₅x - 3¹/₅
       + 1    + 1
              y = 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅ Slope - Intercept Form
   -1³/₅x - y = 1³/₅x - 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅
      -1³/₅x - y = -2¹/₅
   -1(-1³/₅x - y) = -1(-2¹/₅)
-1(-1³/₅x) + 1(y) = 2¹/₅
   1³/₅x - y = 2¹/₅ Standard Form
       1³/₅(0) - y = 2¹/₅
      0 - y = 2¹/₅
      -y = 2¹/₅
      -1    -1
   y = -2¹/₅ Y - Intercept
   (x, y) = (0, -2¹/₅)
