What is the quotient of 6 and -1/2

Mathematics

Grace [21]3 years ago

Quotient means divide, meaning we'll divide 6 by -1/2.
6 \div - \frac{1}{2}
When dealing with fraction division, we flip the fraction in the second place and then change the problem to multiplication.
6 \cdot - \frac{2}{1}
Anything over 1 is just itself, so -2/1 becomes -2.
6 \cdot -2
Finally, we multiply 6 and -2.
6 \cdot -2 = -12
So the quotient of 6 and -1/2 is -12.

Help with 21 would be much appreciated.

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}\ and\ y=4\sqrt3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AD}{CD}=\dfrac{CD}{DB}

We have

AD=14-8=6\\CD=y\\DB=8

Substitute:

\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}         <em>cross multiply</em>

y^2=(6)(8)

y^2=48\to y=\sqrt{48}\\\\y=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\\\\y=\sqrt{16}\ cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{y=4\sqrt3}

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2=6^2+(4\sqrt3)^2\\\\x^2=36+48\\\\x^2=84\to x=\sqrt{84}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot21}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}}

Ben weighs 140.8 pounds, and Jennifer weighs 117.7 pounds. How many more pounds does Ben weigh than Jennifer?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Ben weighs 23.1 lbs more than Jennifer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between Ben and Jennifer's weight, you have to subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. In this case, subtract Jennifer's weight from Ben's weight. This would look like this: 140.8-117.8.

140.8-117.7=23.1

Therefore, Ben weighs 23.1 lbs more than Jennifer.
