Which fraction is closer to 0? 1/8 or 4/9

1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is: " 1/8 " .
__________________________________________________________
Note: "4/9" is close to "1/2" . Since "4/8 = 1/2" ; and since "4.5/9" = "1/2" .

"1/8" is a MUCH SMALLER value than "1/2" ;

and: "1/8" is a much smaller value than "4/9".
__________________________________________________________
Hence, " 1/8" is much closer to "0" than "4/9" .
__________________________________________________________
The correct answer is: "1/8" .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

N(t) = 300.9 Multiply N * t tN = 300.9 Solving tN = 300.9 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Divide each side by 'N'. t = 300.9N-1 Simplifying t = 300.9N-1

Find X using the given information

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Just so you hear, Whirlybot, these circle problems are always "tricks" and they are tough. You have to remember a bunch of implied things

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing to recall is that the angle from the tangent point to O at the center is also a 90° angle. so you now know, that the line from the point where the circle touches the tangent line to the center is a right angle and you have part of that 90° already. the 50 is one part and there for the next part is 40 ° Since we now know that the line from the tangent to the center is forming an internal angle with that line going to X of 40 ° we know that X is also 40 ° b/c the triangle formed by the line to the center is going to be the same length as the line from the center to the X. That's an Isosceles triangle. they have the same angles at the two same length legs.

I know, I went thur a whole pile of logic, but that's what makes this kind of problem tough. you just have to keep thinking about things you know.

X = 40 °

A water storage tank is in the shape of a cone with the pointed end down. If the radius is 21 feet and the depth of the tank is

andre [41]

The volume of the water storage tank is the amount of space in it

The volume of the water storage tank is 6468 cubic feet

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Radius (r) = 21 feet

Height (h) = 14 feet

The shape of the water storage tank is a cone.

And the volume of a cone is:

V = 1/3πr^2h

So, we have:

V = 1/3 * 22/7 * 21^2 * 14

This gives

V = 6468

Hence, the volume of the water storage tank is 6468 cubic feet
