What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form

2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5

2.8

= 2.0 + 0.8

= 2 + 4/5

= 10/5 + 4/5

= 14/5

Answer: TRUE

Step-by-step explanation: This is true, because there is an infinite amount of real numbers in both, and they are both countably infinite (so these infinities are equal). Hope this helps!

Jade used candle molds, as shown, to make candles that were perfect cylinders and spheres:
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The difference in the amount of wax needed is 84.78 in³ (84.78 cubic inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Cylinder</em>

Radius = 3 inches

Height = 7 inches

<em>Sphere</em>

Radius = 3 inches

Required

The difference in the amount of wax needed to make a candle from each of these molds

The quantity or amount required to make a wax of candle from each molds can be calculated by getting the volume of both molds

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using

<em>V₁ = πr²h</em>

where r and h are the radius and the height of the cylinder, respectively.

r = 3 in and h = 7 in

The volume of a sphere is calculated using

V_{2} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

where r is the radius of the sphere

r = 3 in

Calculating V₁

V₁ = πr²h

V₁ = π * 3² * 7

V₁ = π * 9 * 7

V₁ = π * 63

V₁ = 63π

Calculating V₂

V_{2} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V_{2} = \frac{4}{3} * \pi * 3^3

V_{2} = \frac{4}{3} * \pi * 27

V_{2} = \frac{108}{3} * \pi

V₂ = 36π

Having calculated the volume of each molds, the difference in the amount of wax needed can then be calculated.

Difference = V₁ - V₂

Substituting 63π for V₁ and 36π for V₂

Difference = 63π - 36π

Difference = 27π

<em>(Taking π = 3.14)</em>

Difference = 27 * 3.14

Difference = 84.78

Hence, difference in the amount of wax needed is 84.78 in³

Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation below? log Subscript 3 Baseline (18 x cubed) mi
makvit [3.9K]

The extraneous solution of the logarithmic problem \rm log_3(18x^3)-log_3(2x) = log_3 144 is -4.

<h3>What is Logarithm?</h3>

A log function is a way to find how much a number must be raised in order to get the desired number.

a^c =b

can be written as

\rm{log_ab=c

where a is the base to which the power is to be raised,

b is the desired number that we want when power is to be raised,

c is the power that must be raised to a to get b.

Solving the function using the basic logarithmic value, we get,

\rm log_3(18x^3)-log_3(2x) = log_3 144\\\\ log_3\dfrac{(18x^3)}{(2x)} = log_3 144\\\\ log_3(9x^2)= log_3 144\\\\\text{Taking antilog}\\9x^2 = 144\\x = \sqrt{\dfrac{144}{9}}

If we solve further we will get that the value of x can be either -4 or 4, if take the value of x as -4, in the beginning then you will get log₃(18(-4)³) as the log of negative value which is impossible.

Hence, x=-4 is an extraneous solution.
