Answer:

a fraction like 1/2 and its opposite -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition two numbers are opposite if their distance to 0 is the same.

distance to 0 for 1/2 = 1/2 - 0 = 1/2

distance to 0 for -1/2 = 0 - (-1/2) = 1/2

since both have the same distance, they are opposite with each other

Another way to verify it , is that the sum of the 2 values should be 0. in our case,

1/2 + (-1/2) = 1/2 - 1/2 = 0

Three Texas drovers met on a highway and began to dicker as follows:

Alik [6]

Answer:

Jim's: 7
Duke's: 21
Hank's: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J, D, and H represent the drove sizes of Jim, Duke, and Hank.

2(H -6 + 1) = (J +6 -1) . . . . . Hank's offer

3(D -14 +1) = (H +14 -1) . . . . Duke's offer

6(J -4 +1) = (D +4 -1) . . . . . . Jim's offer

These equations can be simplified to ...

2H - J = 15

3D - H = 52

6J - D = 21

<u>Solution</u>

Adding twice the second equation to the first gives ...

2(3D -H) +(2H -J) = 2(52) +(15)

6D -J = 119

Adding 6 times the third equation to this one gives ...

6(6J -D) +(6D -J) = 6(21) +(119)

35J = 245

J = 7

Using this value in the third equation gives ...

6(7) -D = 21

42 -21 = D = 21

Using the value of J in the first equation gives ...

2H -7 = 15

H = (15 +7)/2 = 11

Then the solution is (J, D, H) = (7, 21, 11).

Jim's drove had 7 animals; Duke's drove had 21 animals; Hank's drove had 11 animals.

It takes 1 hour (t) to fill the water tank of volume (V) 750 m3. Identify the dependent and the independent variables.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The time t is the independent variable while the volume V is the dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable is a parameter that changes.

We have two types namely dependent and independent variables.

A dependent variable is a variable which its value needs to be determined based on the value of another variable while and independent variable is a variable which its value independent of other parameters.

In our question, It takes 1 hour (t) to fill the water tank of volume (V) 750 m3.

The volume of the tank V changes as time changes. So the volume of the tank V is dependent on time, t.

So V is proportional to t

Since the volume of the tank is the variable that needs to be determined based on another variable-which is time,t- it is the dependent variable, while the time,t is the independent variable since its value is not determined based on other parameters.

There were 2,626,418 deaths in 2014 according to the CDC. 614,348 of these deaths were caused by diseases of the heart and 136,0

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

= 0.714 (in decimal fraction)

The probability that the death in 2014 was not caused by heart diseases or Unintentional Injuries = 0.714

= 0.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's interpret the question our way ti solve it .

Total deaths in 2014:

2626418

Death caused by Heart Diseases:

614348

Death caused by Unintentional Injuries:

750401

Therefore, we can deduced that, the number of death not caused by Heart Diseases or Unintentional Injuries = Total deaths in 2014 minus sum of the recorded death.

= 2626418 - ( 614348 + 136053)

= 2626418 - 750401

= 1876017.

Now, the probability that there were death in 2014 is 1 (one)

To find the probability that death we're not caused by heart diseases or Unintentional Injuries:

= 1 - Pr (Death Caused by heart diseases) + Pr (Death causes by Unintentional Injuries)

= 1 - (0.234 + 0.052)

= 1 - 0.286

= 0.714

To Check:

= 1876017 / 2626418

Divide to the lowest term

=0.714
