1/5 = 3/15
1/3 = 5/15
2/3 = 10/15
So no :)
Reason why:
You want to find the common denominator between all three fractions, so all fractions are the same proportions. So in this case, if you multiply 5*3 you get 15, making it the common denominator. Then since you multiplied the 5 in 1/5 by 3 to get 15, and you have to multiply the 3 in 1/3 and 2/3 by 5 to get 15, then you multiply the numerator by the same number.
Sorry I am terrible at explaining things. Hope this helped though!
Answer:
"Teens and Distracted Driving: Texting, Talking and Other Uses of the Cell Phone Behind the Wheel"
a. The inference made involves estimation. The question provided that the statements were made on the basis of the resulting data and not on the basis of some hypothesis testing.
This implies that some statistics were calculated from sample data to approximate the population parameter, as shown in the statements. The statements were not an attempt to establish the statistical significance of some claims.
b. The population of interest is American teenagers between 12-17.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inference from data is a statistical estimation by which some statistics are calculated based on the sample data of 800 teens between the ages of 12 and 17. The statistics serve as an approximation to the population parameter.
Inference based on hypothesis testing establishes if a claim has statistical significance by providing statistical evidence in favor of the claim or against it.
Answer:
7 hours 15 minutes
7.25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm = 45 minutes
Two 15-minute unpaid coffee breaks during the day = 30 minutes
Total break hours = 45 minutes + 30 minutes
= 1 hour 15 minutes
Total work day hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm = 8 hours 30 minutes
How many hours are you paid?
Total hours paid = Total work day hours - Total unpaid break hours
= 8 hours 30 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes
= 7 hours 15 minutes
b) Express your answer as a decimal in hours only
7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal
15 minutes to hour = 60 minutes/15 minutes
= 1/4
= 0.25 hours
7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal = 7 hours + 0.25 hours
= 7.25 hours
Answer: Choice A
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
=====================================================
Let's go through the answer choices
- Choice A is something we'll come back to
- Choice B is false because the line does not go uphill as we move from left to right. The graphed line has a negative slope, which contradicts what choice B is saying.
- Choice C is false for similar reasons as choice B. The slope should be negative.
- Choice D has a negative slope, but the y intercept is wrong. The y intercept should be 3. So choice D is false as well.
We've eliminated choices B through D.
Choice A must be the answer through process of elimination.
------------
Here's an alternative method:
If we started at a point like (0,3) and move to (4,0), note how the slope is -3/4
This is because we've moved down 3 units and to the right 4 units.
m = slope = rise/run = -3/4
We can also use the slope formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to see this.
Then we pick on a point that is on the diagonal line. It could be any point really, but the point your teacher used for choice A is (x1,y1) = (-4,6)
So,
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x - (-4))
y - 6 = (-3/4)(x + 4)
y = (-3/4)(x + 4) + 6
Answer:
-7/2 = -2(x-1/2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
0 = –2x^2 + 2x + 3
Subtract 3 from each side
-3 = –2x^2 + 2x
Factor out the -2
-3 =- 2(x^2 -x)
Take the coefficient of x and divide by 2 and square it
-1 /2 = -1/2 ^2 = 1/4
Add it to each side Remember the -2 on the outside so we need to multiply it by -2
-2 *1/4 = -1/2
-3 -1/2= -2(x^2 -x +1/4)
-7/2 = -2(x^2 -x +1/4)
-7/2 = -2(x-1/2)^2
