Half is a third of it.what is it?

Mathematics

Sati [7]3 years ago

Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2

Now we just have a simple equation to solve:

1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)

Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore

x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5

To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:

1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2

What are the first five terms in the<br> recursive sequence defined by the<br> following?
kolezko [41]

The first five terms of the sequence are {0, -1.4, -2.8, -4.2, -5.6}

<h3>Recursive function</h3>

Given the nth term of a recursive expression shown below

an =an-1 - 1.4

where

an-1 is the preceding term

a1 is the first term

an is the nth term

an-1 is

Given the following

a1 = 0

For the second term a2

a2 = 0 - 1.4

a2 = -1.4

For the third term a3

a3 = -1.4 - 1.4

a3 = -2.8

For the fourth term a4

a4 = -2.8 - 1.4

a4 = -4.2

For the fifth term a2

a5 = -4.2 - 1.4

a5 = -5.6

Hence the first five terms of the sequence are {0, -1.4, -2.8, -4.2, -5.6}

The length f a rectangle is 3 ties its width, the perimeter of it is 24cm. what is the area of it?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take the width as x and length as 3x( since length is 3 times the width)…

Perimeter of the rectangle is 24 cm( 2*(l+b))= 2×(3x+x):24

2×4x=24

8x=24

X( width): 24/8=3cm

Length= 3x: 3*3=9cm

Area of the rectangle: ( l*w)= 9×3: 27cm²

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is
8090 [49]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

this is more of a mind game.  Lots of words to throw you off.  Daily a cow produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already found the mean, "averaged" it out for you) with a deviation of .7 gallons ("give or take" .7 gallons).  On any given day (throw these words out) 68% of the cows (don't need this information to answer the question either, thrown in to confuse you) will produce an amount of milk within which of the following ranges?  Just subtract the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons from the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons to the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9 gallons.  Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons.     You don't even have to go crazy on the math on this question you can rule them all out but A immediately with subtracting .7 from 6.2.  Mind games .... LOL sneaky.
