What is a rational number halfway between 6/7 and 5/6

Well hmmm let's see hmm
our denominators are 7 and 6

so.. their LCD or a GCF for that matter..  is just 7 * 6 or 42

so let's make both fractons the same denominator,
that is, the LCD of 42

for the 7, we need to multiply by 6
we do that to the denominator, we have to
also do it for its numerator

for the 6, we multiply by 7
we do that for the denominator, we need to
also do it for its numerator

so, we end up with 
\bf \begin{cases}
\cfrac{6}{7}\cdot \cfrac{6}{6}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 6}{7\cdot 6}\implies \cfrac{36}{42}
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{5}{6}\cdot \cfrac{7}{7}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 7}{6\cdot 7}\implies \cfrac{35}{42}
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{so.. hmmm they're next to one another, kinda}\\\\
\textit{let us use }\frac{35}{42}+0.5\textit{ or half a bit more}\\\\
\textit{pass 35 and below 36}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{35}{42}+0.5\implies \cfrac{35}{42}+\cfrac{1}{2}

so.. that rational is, passed 35/42 and  before 36/42
so. is between, half-way really, since we used 1/2

now, we could have use some other fraction of 1,
say 1/25 or 1/7 or 3/23  and those would have also worked,
because they're passed 35/42 and before 36/42

How to find horizontal asymptotes with x as an exponent analytically?
tiny-mole [99]
When the base is greater than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to -∞. When the base is less than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to ∞. Whatever additions or factors you have that modify the exponential term will modify the asymptote accordingly.

Algebra problem!!! Please help me!!!
zmey [24]

Good morning Brainiac

x+y = 13

1/2 x +y = 10


We gonna solve x+y=13 for x

So let's start by adding -y to both sides

x+y -y = 13-y

x= -y +13

Now substitute -y+13 for x in 1/2 x +y=10

1/2 x +y = 10

1/2 (-y+13)+y=10

1/2 y + 13/2 = 10

Now add -13/2 to both sides

1/2 y+13/2 -13/2 = 10- 13/2

1/2 y = 7/2

Now eliminate the common denominator which is 2

y = 7

Now we have the value for y, so lets find the value for x by substitute 7 for y in x= -y+13

x= -y+13

x= -7 + 13

x= 6

Answer : (6,7)

The answer is B


I hope that's help and if you have questions please let me know :)


Good luck
