1 answer:

5 0

Here 5 - 4/9
multiply 9 and divide 9 to 5. It gives 45/9.
Hence, above fraction becomes,
45/9 - 4/9 = (45 - 4) / 9 = 41 / 9
Hope it helps.

What we know:

Bird feeder capacity: --> 2 4/5 cups
Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups

Lets first convert the mixed partial fraction --> improper fraction

--> for easier calculation

After Conversion:

Bird feeder capacity: --> 14/5 cups
Samantha's scoop capacity: --> 7/10 cups

To find how many scoops of birdseed will Samantha put into the feeder we must:

--> divide the total capacity by the scoop's capacity

--> find the number of scoops:

Solve:

$Total-number- of -scoops = \frac{\frac{14}{5} }{\frac{7}{10} } =\frac{14}{5} *\frac{10}{7} =\frac{14*10}{5*7} =\frac{14}{7} *\frac{10}{5} =2*2=4$

Thus the total number of scoops that Samantha will put into the bird feeder is 4

Answer: 4

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Option C $f (x) = x^ 2 - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the relation describing the set of ordered pairs does not change at a costing rate

$y_2 -y_1 = 7-2 = 5\\\\y_3 -y_2 = 14- 7 = 7\\\\y_4 - y_3 = 23- 14 = 9$

Therefore the relationship is not linear.

However, the exchange rate $y_n- y_{n-1}$ increases by a factor of 2 units when n increases 1 unit. This allows us to conclude that the relationship is quadratic

Note that the following ordered pairs belong to the function

$y = x ^ 2$

A = {(2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)}

The set of ordered pairs that we have is:

B = {(2, 2), (3, 7), (4, 16), (5, 23)}

Note that there is a similarity between both sets of ordered pairs.

In set B the values of y are always 2 units less than the values in y of the set A.

Then we deduce that since the function that models the set A is $y = x ^ 2$ then the function that contains the ordered pairs of the B set is:

$y = x ^ 2 -2$

The correct option is option C) $f (x) = x^ 2 - 2$

The ages of three friends are consecutively one year apart. Together, their ages total 30 years. What is the age of the youngest

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The age of the youngest friend is 9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

3a = 30 - 3

= 27 ÷ 3

= 9

= 9 + 10 + 11 = 30

= 9 is the smallest number. So, the youngest friend is 9 years old.
