Explain why the expression 7•3x is not equal to the expression 21x

1 answer:

5 0

The expression 7•3x is not equal to the expression 21x. You might think that the two expressions are the same since 7x3 is 21 but the first expression is a dot product. This kind of expression includes the magnitude and direction of the vector in an expression, for example, <span>7•3x. The second expression, 21x, expresses only the magnitude and does not include the direction.</span>

Danika signs up to work for 3 1/2 hours at the science fair. If each work shift is 3/4 hour, how many shifts will Danika work?

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{3}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}\implies 4\frac{2}{3}$
