1/2 divide by 1/4 = 2. How?

1/2 divided by 1/4 means, 1/2 is broken into equal parts of 1/4. You know that 1/4 * 2 = 1/2, this means there are two equal 1/4 parts in 1/2. Thus, the answer is 2.

Still if you did not understand, see this

|____|____|
Consider, this is a box whose length is 1 cm. It is divided into two equal parts of 1/2 cm.

Now I divide one of the part (1/2 cm) by 1/4. i.e I break that part into many smaller parts all equal to the 1/4 cm
i.e

|__|__|____|
.¼ . ¼ . ½

So, i got only 2 parts equaling to 1/4 cm.

Therefore,

1/2 divided by 1/4 = 2.

I hope this would have helped you. BEST OF LUCK

A system of linear equations with fewer equations than unknowns is sometimes called an underdetermined system. Can such a system

elena55 [62]

Answer:

No, it cannot have a unique solution. Because there are more variables than equations, there must be at least one free variable. If the linear system is consistent and there is at least one free variable, the solution set contains infinitely many solutions. If the linear system is inconsistent, there is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

the questionnaire options are incomplete, however the given option is correct

We mark this option as correct because in a linear system of equations there can be more than one solution, since the components of the equations, that is, the variables are multiple, leaving free variables which generates more alternative solutions, however when there is no consistency there will be no solution

Solve the following systems of equations 2a+4b+c=5 ; a-4b=-6 ; 2b+c=7.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a = -2

b = 1

c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2a + 4b + c = 5 ............(1)

a - 4b = - 6

a = 4b - 6 .............(2)

2b + c = 7

c = 7 - 2b ...........(3)

substituting 2 and 3 in 1, we get

2(4b - 6 ) + 4b + (7 - 2b) = 5

8b - 12 + 4b + 7 - 2b = 5

10b - 5 = 5

b = 1

substituting b in 2, we get

a = 4(1) - 6

a = -2

substituting b in 3, we get

c = 7 - 2(1)

c = 5

thus,

a = -2

b = 1

c = 5

What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 0,0 the intercept is +0 or just nothing.

now all we need to do is find the slope

to do that just go from the y intercept (the first point) y units up and x units over untill u cross at the next point. for examples from (0, 0) to (1, 8)-the next point- i need to go up 8 units up and 1 unit over. this is described as rise over run and that is your slope 8/1 rise/run. rise is how many units i go up (or down) from the y intercept until the next point that lies on the line and run is how far i need to go over from how many units i just went up. If u continue to go 8 up and 1 over from each point u will see that u get a point lying of the line. This is why 8/1 is your slope

8/1 is the slope and 0,0 is your y intercept so we put nothing

the equation is y=8x
