The amount of peanuts given was 3/5th of a pound of peanuts.
there are 6 people amongst which this amount should be divided equally.
therefore given amount should be divided by 6 so that each person gets an equal share
amount present - \frac{3}{5} of a pound 
divide by 6 
\frac{3}{5} * \frac{1}{6}
then numerators are multiplied by numerators and denominators multiplied by denominators 
\frac{3*1}{5*6} =  \frac{3}{30}
the fraction can be further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by common number which is 3
\frac{3/3}{30/3} = \frac{1}{10}
therefore fraction that each person receives is 1/10th of a pound

It would be 1/10. Because you divide 3/5 ,which gives you .6. Then divide .6/6 and you'll get .1 which turns into a fraction of 1/10

1)

The product of seven and a number x:   7·x = 7x

<u>Five less than the product of seven and a number x:</u>

<h3>7x - 5 </h3>

2)

nine times a number y:  9·y = 9y

<u>The difference of nine times a number y and eighteen:</u>

<h3>9y - 18 </h3>

3)

half a number n:   0.5n

four times the number:   4·n = 4n

<u>Half a number n increased by four times the number:</u>

<h3>0.5n + 4n </h3>

4)

a number w cubed:  w³

the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:  w³+23

<u>Twice the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:</u>

<h3>2(w³+23)</h3>

If y= (2x^2+x)^3 +(x-1) /(1-x). find dy dx​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/(1-x)

=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/-(x-1)

=(2x²+x)³-1

dy/dx=3(2x²+x)(4x+1)-0

=3x(2x+1)(4x+1)

Which of the below descriptions shows a possible HAMILTON PATH?
Vadim26 [7]

Option B: FECBAD is the Hamilton path

Explanation:

Given that ABCDEF is a graph with vertices A,B,C,D,E and F

We need to determine the Hamilton path.

Since, we know that a Hamilton path is a path that touches every vertex in a graph exactly once.

Option A: EFADECBA

The path touches the vertices E and A twice.

Hence, the path EFADECBA is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: FECBAD

The path touches every vertex in the graph exactly once.

Hence, the path FECBAD is a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: ADEFBD

The path touches the vertex A twice because when the path travels from F to B the only way to travel through A.

Hence, the path ADEFBD is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: ADECBAFE

The path touches the vertices E and A twice.

Hence, the path ADECBAFE is not a Hamilton path.

Therefore, Option D is not the correct answer.
