A responsible estimate would be 14. 
You estimate each of the mixed numbers to the nearest whole number:
4 1/8=4 because 1/8 is less than 1/2 so the number stays the same
3 2/3=4 because 2/3 is grater than 1/2
5 1/2 =6 because 1/2 is equal to 1/2 which means you estimate up.
So 4+4+6=14

First, mentally add the whole numbers.
4+3+5=12
Now, look at the fractions. 1/8, 2/3, and 1/2.
2/3 is bigger than 1/2, so you can add in another whole number.
12+1=13
1/8 is tiny, and won't add a whole lot to the mix, so just leave that.
A reasonable estimate would be 13 1/8

15+0= 15
Ksju [112]

First of all, let's take a look on the question.

\large{15 + 0 = 15}

Here, 0 is added to 15 and the resultant is 15 only. So, we can say that 0 when added with any number gives the same number as the resultant.

So, the property is known as <u>Identi</u><u>ty</u> property because 0 is added to get the identity of the same number.

<u>The Correct Option:</u>

\large{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf{Option \: C}}}}

So, let's know more...

  • Commutative property ➝ a + b = b + a
  • Associative property ➝ a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
  • Distributive property ➝ a(b + c) = ab + ac

So this is the general form of these properties which is general observed in the rational numbers.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: A.) 2 <= X <= 6

B.) 13 < = X < = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a factory can work its employees no more than 6 days a week, that is, less than or equal to 6 days a week

And also, no less than 2 days per week. That is, greater than or equal to 2 day a week.

Let X represent the number of days an employee can work per week.

According to the first statement,

X < = 6

According to the second statement,

X >= 2

An inequality to represent the range of days an employee can work will be

2 < = X <= 6

To represent the range in hours, first convert the number of days to hour. Given that an employee can work

1 day = 6.5 hours

2 days = 2 × 6.5 = 13 hours

5 days = 6 × 6.5 = 39 hours

Therefore, the range will be

13 < = X < = 39
