Jack buys 4/3 pounds of plums. Martin buys 6/3 pounds of apples. Who buys more fruit? Explain your answer.

They both have the same denominator or bottom half of the fraction so you need to compare the numerators. 6 is more than 4 so Martin bought more fruit than Jack. Hope this helps.

Martin buys more fruit because he buys 6/3, and 6 is greater than 4, and Jack buys 4/3, so Martin bought more food than Jack. There's a difference of 2/3 between what Jack and Martin brought.

Answer:

2201.8348 ; 3 ; x / (1 + 0.01)

Step-by-step explanation:

Final amount (A) = 2400 ; rate (r) = 6% = 0.06, time, t = 1.5 years

Sum = principal = p

Using the relation :

A = p(1 + rt)

2400 = p(1 + 0.06(1.5))

2400 = p(1 + 0.09)

2400 = p(1.09)

p = 2400 / 1.09

p = 2201.8348

2.)

12000 amount to 15600 at 10% simple interest

A = p(1 + rt)

15600 = 12000(1 + 0.1t)

15600 = 12000 + 1200t

15600 - 12000 = 1200t

3600 = 1200t

t = 3600 / 1200

t = 3 years

3.)

A = p(1 + rt)

x = p(1 + x/100 * 1/x)

x = p(1 + x /100x)

x = p(1 + 1 / 100)

x = p(1 + 0.01)

x = p(1.01)

x / 1.01 = p

x / (1 + 0.01)

Ping's Ice Cream Palace offers a special sundae that contains over 2 kilograms of ice cream plus any number of toppings. Write a

hjlf

Let "x" represent the weight of the toppings. We know that we can have any number of toppings. This means that one may ask for no toppings at all too.

Now, we have been told that "S" is the weight of the special sundae in kilograms. This definitely included the "mandatory" 2 kilograms of ice cream. Therefore, S will be at-least equal to 2.

Thus, the inequality that describes S, the weight of the special sundae in kilograms at Ping's Ice Cream Palace is given as:

$S\geq 2+x$ kilograms.

It can be seen that as x increases, S increases too and if an order does not want any toppings in it then the weight of the special sundae will be a minimum of 2 kg which is the weight of the ice cream.

X For f(x)=0.01(2) , find the average rate of change from x=3 to x=8.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option b. 0.496

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

f(x)=0.01(2^{x})

The average rate of change is equal to

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

where

a=3

b=8

f(a)=f(3)=0.01(2^{3})=0.08

f(b)=f(8)=0.01(2^{8})=2.56

Substitute

\frac{2.56-0.08}{8-3}

\frac{2.48}{5}

0.496
