Answer:

A. 0.2222

B. Repeat indefinitely

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have that Scott has 9 pieces in total and he eats 2 of them. That means he eats 2 <em>out of </em>the 9, so we have 2 ÷ 9. (see attachment)

The decimal form is: 0.2222.

B. Clearly, we can see that throughout the long division, we keep getting 20 - 18 = 2, which makes another 20 and so on. So, this will repeat indefinitely.

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction? StartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction minus StartFraction 1 Over

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{y-x}{x+y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that fraction

$\frac{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}}{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}}$

We have to find the expression which is equivalent to given fraction .

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=\frac{y-x}{xy}$

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{x+y}{xy}$

Substitute the values then, we get

$\frac{\frac{y-x}{xy}}{\frac{y+x}{xy}}$

We know that

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{x}{y}}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{y}{x}$

Using the property then, we get

$\frac{y-x}{xy}\times \frac{xy}{x+y}$

$\frac{y-x}{x+y}$

This is required expression which is equivalent to given expression.

Seriously someone help me i answered it but i don’t know if it is right so please tell me if it is and how i got the answer or p

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine a function rule, look at the table. Input the x and y value from one column into the function to see if it is correct.

<h3>Function a: y = 10 - 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 - 2(6)

22 = 10 - 12

22 ≠ -2 ❌

As we can see, function a gives us a false statement, so a is incorrect.

<h3>Function b: y = 2 - 10x</h3>

Input values

22 = 2 - 10(6)

22 = 2 - 60

22 ≠ -58 ❌

We once again get a false answer, so b is also not correct.

<h3>Function c: y = 10 + 2x</h3>

Input values

22 = 10 + 2(6)

22 = 22 ✔

Finally, we get a true statement, so option c is correct.

<h3>Function d: y = 2 + 10x</h3>

Just to check that option c is correct, we need to prove that d is incorrect.

Input values

22 = 2 + 60

22 ≠ 62 ❌

This is also wrong, so that proves that c is correct.

I'm always happy to help :)
