If a number is negative, then the number is less than its absolute value. The absolute value of a number is its magnitude regardless of its sign. Therefore, when you get the absolute value of a negative number, you will get its positive corresponding number and when you compare the two, the negative number will always be less than its absolute value.

If 6/10 is multiplied by a fraction less than 1,which of these would be an answer 6/10,1/2,3/2,or 5

Pavlova-9 [17]

If $\frac{6}{10}$ is multiplied with a fraction less than 1, out of the given options $\frac{1}{2}$ would be the answer.

Explanation:

First, we need to determine what a fraction lesser than 1 is. If the numerator is lesser than the denominator, the fraction will be lesser than 1 whereas if the denominator is higher than the numerator is would equal more than 1.
If $\frac{6}{10}$ is multiplied with 1, we get the value $\frac{6}{10}$ . Since the fraction must be lesser than 1, $\frac{6}{10}$ cannot be an answer. So option 1 cannot be the answer.
The value of $\frac{6}{10}$ is 0.6. If it is multiplied with any value lesser than 1, the resulting value cannot be higher than the value of 0.6. The value of the fraction $\frac{3}{2}$ is 1.5 and the value of 5 are both greater than 0.6. So the third and fourth options cannot be the answer. So $\frac{1}{2}$ is the answer.

Which of the following is the simplest form of this expression?

Readme [11.4K]

The numerator could be written a⁴/⁵

The denominator could be written a²/³

Now solve ( a⁴/⁵) / (a²/³) ==> a⁽⁴/⁵ ⁻²/³) = a⁽²/¹⁵)

This is the simplest way

Let x = months

so we know that price of software package is $20
Now we need to find x the price of one month

we know that Angie and Kenny spent 115 total

Angie: 20 + 3x ( one software pack + 3(price of one month)
Kenny: 20+ 2x ( one software pack + 2( price of one month)

So Angie + Kenny = $ 115

20 + 3y + 20 + 2y = 115

combine like terms and solve for x. That will give you the cost of one month

40 + 5x = 115
-40 -40

5x= 75
5x/5 = 75/5

x=15
