How does 1/8 divided by 1/4 equal 1/2?

1 answer:

6 0

When you divide a fraction by a fraction, you're really just multiplying by a reciprocal. A reciprocal is the fraction flipped around.
So, 1/8 ÷ 1/4 is the same thing as 1/8 x 4/1
Now, you just multiply. 1 times 4 is 4. 8 times 1 is 8.
1/8 x 4/1=4/8
4/8 simplified is 1/2
So that is how 1/8÷1/4=1/2

Verify that P = Ce^t /1 + Ce^t is a one-parameter family of solutions to the differential equation dP dt = P(1 − P).

NemiM [27]

Answer:

See verification below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can differentiate P(t) respect to t with usual rules (quotient, exponential, and sum) and rearrange the result. First, note that

$1-P=1-\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1+ce^t-ce^t}{1+ce^t}=\frac{1}{1+ce^t}$

Now, differentiate to obtain

$\frac{dP}{dt}=(\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t})'=\frac{(ce^t)'(1+ce^t)-(ce^t)(1+ce^t)'}{(1+ce^t)^2}$

$=\frac{(ce^t)(1+ce^t)-(ce^t)(ce^t)}{(1+ce^t)^2}=\frac{ce^t+ce^{2t}-ce^{2t}}{(1+ce^t)^2}=\frac{ce^t}{(1+ce^t)^2}$

To obtain the required form, extract a factor in both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{ce^t}{1+ce^t}\frac{1}{1+ce^t}=P(1-P)$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has no division answer. That makes C and D incorrect.

A for some reason is backwards. It makes no sense to use that. You are left with B. The reason A or B is correct is that the burn of calories must get larger with an increase in hours.

A bag has four green marbles, three red marbles, and three yellow marbles. What is the probability that you pick a yellow marble

valina [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

add all marbles together:

4 (green) + 3 (red) + 3 (yellow) = 10 marbles total

if we pick a yellow marble out of the bag and do not replace it, then we have 2 yellow marbles left.

we need to add marbles again with one yellow marble subtracted.

4 (green) + 3 (red) + 2 (yellow) =

new Total is 9 marbles.

so then we have 2 yellow marbles out of 9 total marbles.

2:9

or 2/9

or .22 (22%)

is the probability
