Explain how you know which number 1 15/16 17/8 63/33 is closest to 2

1 answer:

4 0

I will say there are two ways to solve this problem. The first is, you can use your calculator and calculate it to see which is the closest to 2. The second way is divide it and here is how you do it:

1 is just 1
15/16 = 16 goes into 15 for less than one
17/8 = 8 goes into 17 for more than two so you can rewrite it as $1(17/16)$
63/33 = 33 does not go into 63 for two

So the answer is 17/8

Which values of k are solutions to the inequality |-k-2|<18? Check all that apply<br> -40

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

any number except -20

Step-by-step explanation:

$|-k-2|$

$-k-2$ $-k-2>18$

$-k$ $-k>18+2$

$-k$ $-k>20$

Multiply by -1 to make the k positive. This will alter all the terms which means 20 will become negative. NOTE: When multiplying or dividing by negative numbers, the inequaliy sign flips.

$k>-20$ $k$

k must be either greater than -20 but not including it or fewer than -20 but not including it; therefore, any number between negative infinity and -21 and -19 and postive infinity
