Why does it takes 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1copy of 1 / 2

Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.

We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.

(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3

This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.

Because 3 times 1/6 is 3/6 which can be simplified to 1/2

Which number produces a rational number when added to 0.3?
Monica [59]
A rational number is an algebraic term expressed as a fraction. The fraction can also be in decimals but only if the decimal places are not repeating or not infinitely long. If they aren't, then these are called irrational numbers.

Let's try each of the choices:

A. The term 2/4 is a rational number. Now, when 0.3 or 3/10 is added to it, the sum would be 4/5 or 0.8. This is a rational number.

B. √7 is an irrational number because its exact value is 2.645751311.... Even if you add 0.3 to it, the answer would still be irrational

C. Obviously, this is an irrational number

D. The exact value of π is <span>3.14159...... If 0.3 is added to it, the answer would be 3.441592654. This is irrational.


Therefore, the answer is A.</span>

Polygon ABCD is translated to create polygon A′B′C′D′. Point A is located at (1, 5), and point A′ is located at (-2, 3). Which e
kumpel [21]

Answer:

(x',y')-->(x-3,y-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that we can get from the x-coordinate of A, 1, to the x-coordinte of A', -2, by subtracting 3 from the x-coordinate of A. More formaly:

1+a=-2

a=-2-1

a=-3

Similarly, we can get from the y-coordinate of A, 5, to the y-coordinate of A', 3, by subtracting 2 from the y-coordinte of A. More formaly:

5+b=3

b=3-5

b=-2

Now we now that to get to A' from A, we need to subtract 3 to the x-coordinate of A and subtract 2 to the y-coordinate. Knowing this, we can create the expression to translate any point of the polygon ABCD to create the polygon A'B'C'D':

(x',y')-->(x-3,y-2)

Find the value of x please help I give brainly<br> 20 points
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

x=148

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the missing angle by subtracting 100+48 from 180 (all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180). Then, subtract that from 180 (the angles are a linear pair, so they are supplementry, so they add up to 180) x+32=180.

x=148.

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of
Aneli [31]
The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)
