The answer is:  "  \frac{1}{4} " ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
___________
Explanation:
__________
Method 1)
__________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

= \frac{6}{24} ; 

= \frac{6/6}{24/6} ;

= \frac{1}{4} ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
_________________
Method 2)
_________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

→ The "2's" & "3's" in both the numerator & denominator "cancel out" to "1" ;  {since:  "(2÷2=1)" ; and "(3÷3=1" ) ; 

→ And we have:

   
→  \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{1 * 1 * 4} ;

            =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
________________
Method 3)  (similar to "Method 2" above):
_________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

= \frac{1 * 2 * 3}{2* 3 *4} ;

→ The "2" in numerator cancels out to "1" ; and the "4" in the denominator cancels to "2" ;  {since:  "(4÷2=2)" ; and since: "(2÷2=1)" ;

→  The "3's" in both the numerator AND denominator "cancel out" to "1" ;                      {since:  "(3÷3=1" ) ; 

→ And we have:

   →  \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 1 * 2} ;

            =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
_______________
Method 4)
_______________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4} ;

→ Cancel out the "2" in the denominator of "\frac{1}{2}" ; to a "1" ; AND cancel out the "2" in the numerator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
       {since: "{2÷2=1}" ;
 
 → Cancel out the "3" in the denominator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
AND cancel out the "3" in the numerator of: "\frac{3}{4}" ; to a "1" ;
      {since:  "(3÷3=1}" ;

→ And we have:

   →  \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{4} ; 

              = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{1 * 1 *4} ; 
           
              =  \frac{1}{4} ;  or; write as:  "0.25" .
________________
Variation:
________________
At the point when we have:
________________

   → \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{4} ; 
________________
We can eliminate the: 

"  \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}  " ;

{since: "  \frac{1}{1} = 1 " ; 

{and since:  "  \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}  "  =  1 * 1 = 1 ; 

and since: "1", multiplied by any value, equals that exact same value; 
_____________
THAT IS:
_____________
    → \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{1}{1}   *  \frac{1}{4}  ;

         =  1  *  1  *  \frac{1}{4} ;

         =  (1 * 1)  *  \frac{1}{4} ;

         =    1 *   \frac{1}{4}  ;
  
         =    \frac{1}{4} ;  or, write as:  "0.25" .
_____________
Method 5)   (similar to "Method 4" above):
____________________
\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4}  ;

  → Cancel out the "2" in the numerator of "\frac{2}{3}" ; to a " 1 " ; 
AND cancel out the "4" in the denominator of "\frac{3}{4}"; to a "2" ;
       {since: "{4÷2=2}" ; and since: "{2÷2=1}" ; 

  → Cancel out the "3" in the denominator of "\frac{2}{3} " ; to a "1" ;
AND cancel out the "3" in the numerator of: "\frac{3}{4}" ; to a "1" ;
      {since:  "(3÷3=1}" ;

→ And we have:
_____________
   →  \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{2} ; 

              = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 1  *2} ; 

                      =  \frac{1}{4} ; or, write as:  "0.25" .

If andy pays 450 of the rent and mo pays 1/2 of the rent and charlie pays 25percent of the rent what is the overall rent
scoray [572]

Answer:

$1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mo pays 1/2 of the rent then he is paying 50%. Charlie is paying another 25%. This leaves the remaining 25% that Andy pays. Since Andy's payment amount is 450 then that means that 450 is equal to 25% of the total rent. Therefore, we simply need to multiply this amount by 4 to get the 100% of the overall rent.

450 * 4 = $1,800

Finally, we can see that the total rent amount is $1,800

Consider function f.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  • x = 2, x = -1, x = -3
  • As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function</u>

  • f(x)= x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x - 6

<u>Finding zero's</u>

  • x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0
  • x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x^2 - 8x +3x - 6 =
  • (x - 2)(x^2 + 4x + 3) =
  • (x - 2)(x^2 + x + 3x + 3) =
  • (x - 2)(x(x + 1) + 3(x + 3)) =
  • (x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 3)

<u>Zero's are</u>

  • x = 2, x = -1, x = -3

<em>See the graph attached</em>

<u>Correct end behavior as per graph:</u>

  • As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity
