First you want to add all of those together.
12 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 24
So there are 24 miles in total.
Next, it says she biked 12 miles so you make a fraction.
12 / 24 which can be reduced to 1/2.
She spent one half of the total distance biking.
Hope this helps!

Here are two expressions whose product is a new expression, :

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1. Fill in the box with 1

2. Fill in the box with -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression:

$(-2x^3 + [\ ]x)(x^{[\ ]}+1.5) = A$

Solving (1): Fill in the box to make it a polynomial.

To make it a polynomial, we simply fill in the box with a positive integer (say 1)

Fill in the box with 1

$(-2x^3 + [1]x)(x^{[1]}+1.5) = A$

Remove the square brackets

$(-2x^3 + x)(x^1+1.5) = A$

$(-2x^3 + x)(x+1.5) = A$

Open bracket

$-2x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 1.5x = A$

Reorder

$A = -2x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 1.5x$

The above expression is a polynomial.

This will work for any positive integer filled in the box

Solving (2): Fill in the box to make it not a polynomial.

The powers of a polynomial are greater than or equal to 0.

So, when the boxes are filled with a negative integer (say -2), the expression will cease to be a polynomial

Fill in the box with -2

$(-2x^3 + [-2]x)(x^{[-2]}+1.5) = A$

Remove the square brackets

$(-2x^3 - 2x)(x^{-2}+1.5) = A$

Reorder

$A = (-2x^3 - 2x)(x^{-2}+1.5)$

Open brackets

$A = -2x-3x^3-2x^{-1}-3x$

Collect Like Terms

$A = -3x^3-2x-3x-2x^{-1}$

$A = -3x^3-5x-2x^{-1}$

Notice that the least power of x is -1.

Hence, this is not a polynomial.

Y= 4 - 4/5x all you have to do is make it go up 4 from 0 and either go down 4 and go right 5 or up 4 and to the left 5... hope this helped!

A man shares a $1,200,00 inheritance between his 3 sons in ratio 1: 3: 6. Calculate the difference between the largest share and

soldi70 [24.7K]

A man's inheritance money = $1200

Given :

He shared his inheritance between his 3 sons in the ratio 1:3:6

Then, the money the first son got :

$= \tt \frac{1}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$=\tt \frac{1}{10} \times 1200$

$=\tt \frac{1 \times 120}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{1200}{10}$

$\color{plum} =\tt\$ \: 120$

▪︎Thus, the first son inherited $120.

Money the second son got :

$= \tt \frac{3}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$= \tt \frac{3}{10} \times 1200$

$=\tt \frac{3 \times 1200}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{3600}{10}$

$\color{plum} =\tt \$360$

▪︎Thus, the second son inherited $360.

Money the third son got :

$=\tt \frac{6}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$=\tt \frac{6}{10} \times 1200$

$= \tt \frac{6 \times 1200}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{7200}{10}$

$\color{plum} = \tt\$720$

▪︎Thus, the third son inherited $720.

We know that :

The largest share = $720

The smallest share = $120

Difference between the largest and smallest share :

$= \tt720 - 120$

$\color{hotpink}\tt = 600$

<h3> ●=> Therefore :</h3>

▪︎<em>The difference between the largest and smallest share = 600</em>
