What is 12 6/13 rounded to the nearest whole numbers

1 answer:

6 0

So, first determine what half of the denominator or bottom number would be.
   Half of 13 would be 6.5 (Do 13 divided by 2).
Next, see if the numerator or top number on the fraction is smaller, the same, or bigger than that number.
   Since 6.5 is bigger than 6, the numerator would be smaller.
If it is smaller, keep the whole number (in this case 12) the same. If it is the same or equal, round up (in this case 13).
   Since 6 is smaller than 6.5, you keep 12 the same.
   Your answer would be 12.

Hope this helped!

Which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation?

x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ and find values of x.

Solving:

Find the LCM of denominators x-1,x and x-1. The LCM is x(x-1)

Multiply the entire equation with x(x-1)

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}\\\frac{1}{x-1}*x(x-1)+\frac{2}{x}*x(x-1)=\frac{x}{x-1}*x(x-1)\\Cancelling\,\,out\,\,the\,\,same\,\,terms:\\x+2(x-1)=x^2\\x+2x-2=x^2\\3x-2=x^2\\x^2-3x+2=0$

Now, factoring the term:

$x^2-2x-x+2=0\\x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0\\(x-1)(x-2)=0\\x-1=0\,\,and\,\, x-2=0\\x=1\,\,and\,\, x=2$

The values of x are x=1 and x=2

Checking for extraneous roots:

Extraneous roots: The root that is the solution of the equation but when we put it in the equation the answer turns out not to be right.

If we put x=1 in the equation, $\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$ the denominator becomes zero i.e

$\frac{1}{1-1}+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{1-1}\\\frac{1}{0}+2=\frac{1}{0}$

which is not correct as in fraction anything divided by zero is undefined. So, x=1 is an extraneous solution.

If we put x=2 in the equation,

$\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x}{x-1}$

$\frac{1}{2-1}+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{2-1}\\\frac{1}{1}+1=\frac{2}{1}\\1+1=2\\2=2$

So, x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution

Option C is correct.

Find the surface area of a right cone with diameter 30 in. and slant height 8 in.Your answerEXTRA CREDIT: Find the surface area

Anon25 [30]

<u>Answer:</u>

Surface area = 1084 in²

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the surface area of a right cone, we can use the following formula:

$\boxed{{Area = \pi r^2 + \pi rl}}$ ,

where:

• r = radius

• l = slant height.

In the question, we are told that the diameter of the cone is 30 in. Therefore its radius is (30 ÷ 2 = ) 15 in. We are also told that its height is 8 in.

Using this information and the formula above, we can calculate the surface area of the cone:

Surface area = $\pi \times (15)^2 + \pi \times 15 \times 8$
