Penny wants to make a model of a beetle that is larger than life size. Penny says she is going to use a scaling factor of 7/12.

Does this make sense or is it nonsense? Explain.

It is nonsense. Penny claims she is going to to make it LARGER than life size. Therefore the fraction would have to be improper. The fraction stated would be making something SMALLER than life size.

It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.

What is 1735/1000 written as a decimal?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

\frac{1735}{1000} as a decimal is 1.735.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a fraction into a decimal, you first have to put the fraction into simplest form.

1. Simplest form

\frac{1735}{1000} = \frac{347}{200}\\\

To do this you must find a number you can equally divide both numbers by.

That number in this situation, 5.

1000/5= 200\\1735/5= 347\\1735:1000 = 347:200\\\frac{1735}{1000} =\frac{347}{200}

Now you must make this simplest formed fraction into a mixed number.

2. Simplest form into Mixed number

\frac{347}{200}= 1\frac{147}{200}

To do this you see how many times the denominator, the bottom number of the fraction, goes into the numerator, the upper part of the fraction.

Since 200 x 2 = 400 and since 400 > 347 this means...

200 goes into 347, once.

Finally, subtract and divide.

Remember put the whole number in front of the mixed number, before the decimal

3. Subtract, divide, decimalize

147/200= 0.735\\\\1\frac{147}{200}= 1.735

Hopes this helps you!

Have a good afternoon!

Write an EQUATION with an undefined slope:
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Example of an equation with an undefined slope: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Definitions</h2>

The standard form of linear equations with an <u>undefined slope</u> is <em>x</em> = <em>a</em>, whose graph represents a vertical line. The value of a in the standard form is the x-intercept, (<em>a</em>, 0).  

The slope is the ratio of the vertical change in y-values to the horizontal change in x-values.

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope(m) =\:\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}\:=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because if we were to solve its slope, the denominator will be zero. As we know, division by zero is an undefined operation.  

<h2>Example:</h2>

For example, suppose that we have the following points (2, 5) (2, 10).

Let (x₁, y₁) = (2, 5)

     (x₂, y₂) = (2, 10)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope(m) =\:\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}\:=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\:=\:\frac{10\:-\:5}{2\:-\:2}\:=\frac{5}{0}}

Dividing the numerator, 5, by the denominator, 0, will have an undefined quotient.

Thus, the equation of the <u>vertical line</u> will be: x = 2, where <em>a</em> = 2.

Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time. When Dina reached the end of the 10 km, Masha still had 2 km t
german

Answer:

4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time.

Dina's biking speed is 5 km/h.

Let us find taken by Dina to cover 10 kn distance.

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=\frac{10km}{5\frac{km}{hr}}

\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=\frac{10km}{5}\times \frac{hr}{km}}

\text{Time taken by Dina to cover 10 km}=2hr

Therefore, Dina took 2 hours to complete 10 km.

Since both started at the same time, therefore, Masha also took 2 hours to complete 2 km less than Dina.

Let us find distance covered by Masha.

\text{Distance covered by Masha}=10\text{ km}-2\text{ km}=8\text{ km}

Now let us find Masha's biking speed.

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

\text{Masha's biking speed}=\frac{8\text{ km}}{2\text{ hour}}

\text{Masha's biking speed}=4\frac{\text{ km}}{\text{ hour}}

Therefore, Masha's biking speed is 4 km per hour.
