Simplify 500 to the nearest common factor

Mathematics
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:

500 = 22 * 53

1,000 = 23 * 53

Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF (also called greatest common divisor, GCD), by taking all the common prime factors of the numerator and denominator, by the lowest exponents:

gcd (22 * 53; 23 * 53) = 22 * 53

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF (also called the greatest common divisor, GCD):

500/1,000 =

(22 * 53)/(23 * 53) =

((22 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) / ((23 * 53) ÷ (22 * 53)) =

1/2

Rewrite result:

1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 as a decimal number.

Hope this helps!!

If f(x)=4x+2, find f(-3)
almond37 [142]

Answer:

f(x)=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have f of x...any x gets the filled in by the number that is next to f

so f(x)=4x+2

f(x)=4*-3+2

f(x)=-10

Belle bought 18 seeds in order to plant an herb garden for her grandma. Of the seeds she bought, 10 were parsley seeds.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

  0.3431

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, it can work well to consider the seeds from the group of 18 that are NOT selected to be part of the group of 15 that are planted.

There are 18C3 = 816 ways to choose 3 seeds from 18 NOT to plant.

We are interested in the number of ways exactly one of the 10 parsley seeds can be chosen NOT to plant. For each of the 10C1 = 10 ways we can ignore exactly 1 parsley seed, there are also 8C2 = 28 ways to ignore two non-parsley seeds from the 8 that are non-parsley seeds.

That is, there are 10×28 = 280 ways to choose to ignore 1 parsley seed and 2 non-parsley seeds.

So, the probability of interest is 280/816 ≈ 0.3431.

___

The notation nCk is used to represent the expression n!/(k!(n-k)!), the number of ways k objects can be chosen from a group of n. It can be pronounced "n choose k".

The base price of the car is about $22,196 because:

x= major options package

10x + x = 24,416

*the 10x is the price of the car

This then simplifies to

11x = 24,416 

use division.

The destination charge is not needed unless you want to check your answer. If you have to then you would do the same thing. The equation would be:

y= destination charge

5y + y = 24,416

Hope this helps.
