How are improper fractions and mixed numbers alike and different?

2 answers:

4 0

Think of improper fractions as top heavy. If the numerator is lager than the denominator, then you have an improper fraction. Ex: 12/6 = 2 because 6 goes into 12, two times. Mixed numbers can turn into improper fractions. Ex: 7 2/3 = 23/3 which divides back down to 7 2/3. To create improper fractions from mixed number you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to the product of the whole number and denominator. ( 3*7=21+2=23) and you just keep the same denominator to then divide. 23/3 = 7 2/3

Both are more than 1 whole. Like if i have 2 whole pies and one half pie i can say 2 1/2 or 3/2 because 2/2 is also 1 and if i have a extra 1/2 it will be 3/2 but they are different because mixed numbers are more simplified

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is equal to the base times the height divided by two. In this case, the base is 6 (or x, it doesn't really matter) and the height is x (or 6, it doesn't matter). That means that the area of this triangle is equal to 6 * x divided by 2, which is also equal to 18. we can say that 6x/2 = 18, meaning that 6x = 36, so x = 6.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: The linear system of equations that models this scenario are

T + B = 15

3T + 2B = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the number of tricycles.

Let B represents the number of bicycles ordered.

The recreation center ordered a total of 15 tricycles and bicycles from a sporting good store. It is expressed as

T + B = 15

A tricycle has three wheels. A bicycle has 2 wheels. The number of wheels for all tricycles and bicycles total 38. The expression would be

3T + 2B = 38

If possible help me in this. I need to find the two odd numbers...

Lelechka [254]

Part (a)

Consecutive odd integers are integers that odd and they follow one right after another. If x is odd, then x+2 is the next odd integer

For example, if x = 7, then x+2 = 9 is right after.

<h3>Answer: x+2</h3>

========================================================

Part (b)

The consecutive odd integers we're dealing with are x and x+2.

Their squares are x^2 and (x+2)^2, and these squares add to 394.

<h3>Answer: x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394</h3>

========================================================

Part (c)

We'll solve the equation we just set up.

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394

x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 394

2x^2+4x+4-394 = 0

2x^2+4x-390 = 0

2(x^2 + 2x - 195) = 0

x^2 + 2x - 195 = 0

You could factor this, but the quadratic formula avoids trial and error.

Use a = 1, b = 2, c = -195 in the quadratic formula.

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(2)\pm\sqrt{(2)^2-4(1)(-195)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{784}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-2\pm28}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-2+28}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-2-28}{2}\\\\x = \frac{26}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-30}{2}\\\\x = 13 \ \text{ or } \ x = -15\\\\$

If x = 13, then x+2 = 13+2 = 15

Then note how x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 13^2 + 15^2 = 169 + 225 = 394

Or we could have x = -15 which leads to x+2 = -15+2 = -13

So, x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (-15)^2 + (-13)^2 = 225 + 169 = 394

We get the same thing either way.

<h3>Answer: Either 13, 15 or -15, -13</h3>
