What is 12 1/2 as an improper fraction??

Mathematics

Olegator [25]3 years ago

<span>To convert 12.5 to a fraction, consider the decimal portion of the number, .5. Since .5 is in the tenth spot of the decimal, it may be read as five-tenths, or 5/10. To reduce it to lowest terms, find the lowest common denominator, 5, and divide each by that number to get 1/2, or one-half. Thus, the number is now 12 1/2. To convert this mixed number into an entirely rational fraction, multiply the whole number, 12, by the denominator, 2, to get 24, then add the numerator, to end up with 25. This is the new numerator, so the rational number is 25/2. To check the work, divide 25 by 2 on a calculator or as a decimal equation, yielding 12.5.</span>

David looks into two brick companies to construct the brick border for his garden. Evergreen landscapers charges an installation
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

For 1,000 bricks, the amount charged will be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bricks for which they charge the same amount be $x

Thus;

The total cost from the first company will

be;

250 + 0.2(x) = 250 + 0.2x

The second will charge;

400 + 0.05(x) = 400 + 0.05x

Since the amount charged will be equal at x bricks, we need to equate both;

400 + 0.05x = 250 + 0.2x

400-250 = 0.2x-0.05x

150 = 0.15x

x = 150/0.15

x = 1,000

Two consecutive positive numbers are such that the sum of their squares is 113. find the two numbers
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 7 and 8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the first number, then x + 1 is the other number.

(x)² + (x + 1)² = 113

x²  +  x² + 2x + 1 = 113    <em>expanded (x + 1)²</em>

2x² + 2x + 1 = 113          <em>added like terms</em>

2x² + 2x - 112 = 0        <em>subtracted 113 from both sides</em>

x² + x - 56 = 0 <em>           divided both sides by 2</em>

(x + 8) (x - 7) = 0        <em>factored polynomial</em>

x + 8 = 0   x - 7 = 0    <em>applied zero product property</em>

x = -8     x = 7  <em>          solved for x</em>

  ↓

not valid since the restriction is that x > 0 <em>(a positive number)</em>

So, x = 7     and     x + 1 = (7) + 1   = 8

Find the average rate of change of the function defined by the following table
prohojiy [21]
In short, the average rate of change is plainly the slope of the set, so we can pick any two points off there, say 2, 35 and 10, 115,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{35})\qquad &#10;(\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{115})&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{115-35}{10-2}\implies \cfrac{80}{8}\implies 10

The combined ages of megan and kyle are 27. if kyle is twice as old as megan, how old is kyle.
Natali [406]

kyle is 18 and megan is 9, because 9 + 18 = 27 and 27 / 3 = 9. hope this helps :)
