-11/12 - -5/12 as always please explain

2 answers:

Well for starters, to negatives next to eachother make a positive. So now we rewrite the problem, -11/12 + 5/12.

Since 11/12 is bigger than 5/12, we use the bigger number’s sign which is subtraction. So 11/12 - 5/12 = 6/12.

However, you want the answer to be in simplest form. You can break down 6/12 to a smaller fraction by dividing 6 into both numbers. 6 divides by 6 is 1. And 12 divided by 6 is 2.

So your final answer is 1/2. Also known as half. I hope this helped.

Find ten rational numbers between -1 by 5 and 1 by 2

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First both the rational numbers should have same denominators. So, find least common denominator

Least common denominator is 10

$\frac{-1}{5}=\frac{-1*2}{5*2}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\\\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*5}{2*5}=\frac{5}{10}\\\\\\$

Now multiply the numerator and denominators of the both the numbers by 10.

$\frac{-2*10}{10*10}= \frac{-20}{100} \ and \ \frac{5*10}{10*10}=\frac{50}{100}\\\\\\Now\ 10 \ rational \ numbers \ between\frac{-20}{10} \ and \ \frac{50}{100} \ is \\\\\\\frac{-19}{100},\frac{-18}{100},\frac{-17}{100},\frac{-16}{100}.\frac{-15}{100},\frac{-14}{100},\frac{-13}{100},\frac{-12}{100},\frac{-11}{100};\frac{-10}{100}$

Answer:

Each student gets 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you would divide 7 by 3, which you can't...so 6 divided by 3 is 2, and when you split the last one into thirds you can each have 1/3. Add the sections together, and each person gets 2 1/3

A house was valued at $100,000 in the year 1987. The value appreciated to $165,000 by the year 2002.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A) The annual multiplier was 1.0339; the annual increase was 0.0339 of the value.

B) 3.39% per year

C) $182,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let's let t represent years since 1987. Then we can fill in the numbers and solve for r.

165000 = 100000(1 +r)^15

1.65^(1/15) = 1 +r . . . . . divide by 100,000; take the 15th root

1.03394855265 -1 = r ≈ 0.0339

The value was multiplied by about 1.0339 each year.

B) The value increased by about 3.39% per year.

C) S = $100,000(1.03394855265)^18 ≈ $182,000
