When is the reciprocal of a fraction a whole number? Plz explain

1 answer:

3 0

The reciprocal of a fraction is only a whole number when
the numerator of the original fraction is ' 1 ' or a factor of
the denominator (original fraction is not in simplest form).

Any other time, the reciprocal of the fraction is another fraction.
(It'll be an improper fraction, and can be written as a mixed number.)

The reciprocal of a fraction is just the same fraction
turned upside down.

-- The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 or just 5 .
(Original numerator is ' 1 '.)

-- The reciprocal of 5/25 is 25/5 or just 5 .
(Original fraction is not in simplest form.)

-- The reciprocal of 5/7 is 7/5 , or 1 and 2/5 .

Answer: The mean is 3780

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is found by adding all values and dividing the sum by how many values were added.

4250+4019+3895+3739+3401+3376=22680
22680/6=3780

MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS A farmer plants a garden that contains corn and pumpkins. The total area (in square

laiz [17]

Answer:

The equation in standard form that models area of pumpkins is:

$A_p = A_G - A_c$

and the area is: $x^2+8x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the garden has corn and pumpkins

The expressions are:

Total area of garden: $A_G = 2x^2+5x+4$

Area of Corn: $A_c = x^2-3x+2$

Area of Pumpkins: $A_p = ?$

The sum of areas of corn and pumpkins is the total area of the garden.

It can be expressed mathematically as:

$A_G = A_c+A_p$

If we have to find the area of pumpkins,

$A_p = A_G - A_c$

Putting the values

$A_p = (2x^2+5x+4) - (x^2-3x+2)\\A_p = 2x^2+5x+4-x^2+3x-2\\A_p = 2x^2-x^2+5x+3x+4-2\\A_p = x^2+8x+2$

The equation in standard form that models area of pumpkins is:

$A_p = A_G - A_c$

and the area is: $x^2+8x+2$

Rudiy27

Answer:

parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3/4x+2

Multiply the equation by 8:

8y=6x+16

(8y-6x)=16

and you can clearly see that they're same
