It would be -15.4 rounding to the nearest hundredth
Answer:
- -3/13 ≈ -1/4
- -6/11 ≈ -1/2
- -7/9 ≈ -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll drop all the minus signs, since they don't contribute anything but distraction.
When numerators or denominators are relatively large, changing their value by 1 unit will have a relatively small effect on the value of the fraction. For example, ...
3/13 ≈ 3/12 = 1/4
If we compare the decimal values of these fractions, we see that ...
3/13 ≈ 0.230769... (6-digit repeating decimal)
The closest of the offered "reasonable estimate" fractions is 1/4 = 0.25.
__
Likewise, 6/11 ≈ 6/12 = 1/2. In decimal, these fractions are ...
6/11 = 0.54... (2-digit repeat)
1/2 = 0.5
__
We can also increase or decrease both numerator and denominator by the same amount to get a fraction with nearly the same value. This works best when the numbers are larger.
7/9 ≈ 6/8 = 3/4 . . . . . . both numerator and denominator decreased by 1
In decimal, these are ...
7/9 = 0.7... (1-digit repeat)
3/4 = 0.75
Answer:
find where -3.5 and -1.5 would be on a number line from -5 to 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
-3.5 -1.5
-3.5 would be in between -4 and -3
-1.5 would be in between -2 and -1
<u>Answer:</u>
x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that each pack of almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz.and a pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.
Assuming x to be the weight of a given pack of almonds, we can write it as:
Now finding the range of rejected masses (x) of the almonds.
or 
or 
Therefore, the correct answer option is x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24.
