0.5=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{5:5}{10:2}=\frac{1}{2}
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
3 0

Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.5 is five-tenths, so we can write 0.5 as the fraction \frac{5}{10}. We are able to simplify so we will divide the numerator and the denominator by 5.

Therefore, 0.5 can be written as the fraction \frac{1}{2}.

One number is 2 more than 3 times another. Their sum is 22. Find the numbers.
ivolga24 [154]
Make a system of equations.

\sf~x=3y+2
\sf~x+y=22

Re-arrange the 2nd equation:

\sf~x+y=22

Subtract y to both sides:

\sf~x=-y+22

Plug in -y + 22 for 'x' in the first equation.

\sf~x=3y+2

\sf~-y+22=3y+2

Subtract 3y to both sides:

\sf~-4y+22=2

Subtract 22 to both sides:

\sf~-4y=-20

Divide -4 to both sides:

\sf~y=\boxed{\sf5}

Plug this into any of the two equations to find 'x':

\sf~x+y=22

\sf~x+5=22

Subtract 5 to both sides:

\sf~x=\boxed{\sf17}

So one of the numbers is 5 and one of them is 17.

The equation of line j is y= -6/7x +7.Line k is perpendicular to j.What is the slope of line k?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

y=7/6x

Step-by-step explanation:

When given an equation and asked to find the equation of a perpendicular line that intersects it, you know that the slope is the slope of the equation is the negative recipricoal of the given equation. i.e. y=2x+2 and y=-1/2x+2. The y-intercept does not matter.

I hope you understood and that this helps!

What is -0.8x - 6 &lt; -10
puteri [66]
Solving an equation is simply like solving an equation. For this problem, you must add 6 on both sides to get -0.8x alone. -10 + 6 would equal -4. Therefore, the inequality would look like this: -0.8x < -4 
Now you have to divide -0.8 on both sides to have x alone. Since you are dividing a negative to the other side, the sign flips to >. When you divide -0.8 to -4, the answer would be 5. So therefore, the answer is: x > 5 
In order to check this, you must plug in 5 into the x. -0.8 times 5 would equal -4. -4 - 6 would equal -10. -10 is the same as the other side. (-10 < -10) That means the answer would be correct. Hope this helps; cheers, mimiisawesome5
