Use a benchmark fraction to compare 7 10 ths and 5 12 ths. Explain how you found the answer

1 answer:

6 0

I dont know what benchmark means but I hope this works. First, multiply 7 10ths by the denominator of 12. 7/10 *12= 84/120.
Then multiply 5 12ths by 10. 5/12 *10=50/120. So, 7/10 > 5/12

Calculate the number in the middle of 9.4 and 17.9

Aneli [31]

The middle number is:
9.4 + ((17.9-9.4)/2) = 13.65

Or you can find it like this:
(9.4+17.9)/2=13.65

Please help on this one ?

Pavel [41]

For the synthetic division, you first put the coefficients on the right side. This rules out A and B. Then, you take the opposite of the bottom. So it says x+5, do it with -5, so the answer is C.

0.5+2x < 14.5 whats the answer

aliina [53]

Answer:

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 + 2x < 14.5

2x < 14.5 - 0.5

2x < 14

x < 14 ÷ 2

x < 7

( To solve this is basically solving an equation. It's just that that instead of an equal sign, a greater than, less than, greater than or equal to or a less than or equal to sign is present. )

Select all expressions that represent a correct solution to the equation 6(x+4)=20. copied for free from openupresources.Org Sel

baherus [9]

Option D: $20 \div 6-4$ is the correct solution to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Option E: $\frac{1}{6} (20-24)$ is the correct solution to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Option F: $(20-24) \div 6$ is the correct solution to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Explanation:

The expression is $6(x+4)=20$

Let us find the value of x.

$\begin{aligned}6(x+4) &=20 \\6 x+24 &=20 \\6 x &=-4 \\x &=-\frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}$

Now, we shall find the expression that is equivalent to the value $x=-\frac{2}{3}$

Option A: $(20-4) \div 6$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$\frac{16}{6}=\frac{8}{3}$

Since, $\frac{8}{3}$ is not equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $(20-4) \div 6$ is not equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: $16(20-4)$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$16(16)=256$

Since, 256 is not equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $16(20-4)$ is not equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option B is not the correct answer.

Option C: $20-6-4$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$20-10=10$

Since, 10 is not equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $20-6-4$ is not equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: $20 \div 6-4$

Using PEMDAS and simplifying the expression, we have,

$\begin{aligned}(20 \div 6)-4 &=\frac{10}{3}-4 \\ &=\frac{10-12}{3} \\ &=-\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}$

Thus, $-\frac{2}{3}$ is equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $20 \div 6-4$ is equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Option E: $\frac{1}{6} (20-24)$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{6}(20-24) &=\frac{1}{6}(-4) \\ &=-\frac{4}{6} \\ &=-\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}$

Thus, $-\frac{2}{3}$ is equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $\frac{1}{6} (20-24)$ is equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option E is the correct answer.

Option F: $(20-24) \div 6$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$\begin{aligned}(20-24) \div 6 &=-\frac{4}{6} \\ &=-\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned}$

Thus, $-\frac{2}{3}$ is equivalent to $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ , the expression $(20-24) \div 6$ is equivalent to the equation $6(x+4)=20$

Hence, Option F is the correct answer.
