No, 7/12 would not be 1/2. seven can go into 14 twice though. So 7/14 = 1/2

We can chang efractions to compare them by multiplying them by 1 or x/x where x=x so

1/2=7/12?
make bottom numbers equal
2 times what=12
divide 2
what=6

1/2 times 6/6=6/12
6/12=7/12
6=7
false

so therefor it does NOT equal 7/12

Jasmine wants to have an equal quantity of forks and spoons, what is the least number of packages of forks jasmine should buy to

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

6 packages of forks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jasmine wants to have an equal quantity of forks and spoons, we need to list the multiples of each quantity and determine the least common multiple (LCM).

Forks: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90

Spoons: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96

The LCM in this example is 60. In order to have exactly 60 forks and 60 spoons, Jasmine will need to buy 6 packages of forks [60 ÷ 10 = 6] and 5 packages of spoons [60 ÷ 12 = 5].

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(8y + 5) - 2z

y = 3, z = 9

Let's plug in the given values.

(8(3) + 5) - 2(9)

First let's multiply.

(24 + 5) - 18

Now simplify within the parentheses.

29 - 18

Subtract.

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Choose which line represents the line of best fit.

Lynna [10]

A line which represents the line of best fit is: C. Line B.

A line of best fit is sometimes referred to as a trend line and it can be defined as a statistical or analytical tool that is commonly used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there is any form of association and correlation between a data set.

<h3>The characteristics of a line of best fit.</h3>

In Mathematics, there are different characteristics that are used for determining the line of best fit on a scatter plot and these include the following:

The line should be very close to the data points as much as possible.
The number of data points that are above the line should be equal to the number of data points that are below the line.

By critically observing the scatter plot using the aforementioned characteristics, we can reasonably and logically deduce that line B represents the line of best fit because the data points are in a linear pattern.
