When number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving 6-3/4x+1/3=1/2x+5

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the least common denominator (LCD) to all the denominators of the fractions present in the equation. These denominators are (writing them in their prime factor form to make our calculations easier):

$4=2^2\\3=3\\2=2$

Therefore, we need to include a factor of 3, and two factors of 2 ( $2^2$ ) in our least common denominator, so this LCD will be a perfectly divided by all three given denominators, therefore eliminating all fractions in the equation.

Our LCD is = $3*2^2=13*4=12$

Select the situation in which one quantity is changing at a constant rate in relation to the other quantity.

arsen [322]

Choice A is the only one that is changing at a constant rate. The reason is that for all three other choices the new rate is based on a different amount after the percent has been applied or the doubling of the ants has been applied. The price per day for the lunch Is constant because whatever the number of days is the amount would always stay the same for each of those days.

Landon scored an 85% on his test. If he got 34 problems correct, how many were on the test?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test

Consider a game in which a participant pays $2 to roll a die. The participant receives $3 if they roll a 1 (i.E. They go up by a

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The expected monetary value of a single roll is $1.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a die is:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6}

The probability of rolling any of the six numbers is same, i.e.

P (1) = P (2) = P (3) = P (4) = P (5) = P (6) = $\frac{1}{6}$

The expected pay for rolling the numbers are as follows:

E (X = 1) = $3

E (X = 2) = $0

E (X = 3) = $0

E (X = 4) = $0

E (X = 5) = $0

E (X = 6) = $4

The expected value of an experiment is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

Compute the expected monetary value of a single roll as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)\\=[E(X=1)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=2)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=3)\times \frac{1}{6}]\\+[E(X=4)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=5)\times \frac{1}{6}]+[E(X=6)\times \frac{1}{6}]\\=[3\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]\\+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[0\times \frac{1}{6}]+[4\times \frac{1}{6}]\\=1.17$

Thus, the expected monetary value of a single roll is $1.17.
