When using fraction strips how do you know that to fractions are equivalent

You basically would use how long they are. If you had a strip of 1/2 and a strip of 3/4... with blocks they wouldn't be the same length. The 3/4 blocks would be greater.

However if you matched a 1/2 strip with a 3/6 strip, you can see that they are the same length and are equivalent. 

Of course their is a way to do it mathematically but let me know if you want to see that.

Pete works as a door to door vacuum salesman and earns a base salary of $400 per week plus 8% commission on
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$516.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Base salary is what Pete will be paid whether he makes a sale or not.

Sales commission is the percentage of the value of the sale that Pete makes which is added to his base salary.

Base salary = $400

Total sales last week = $1456

Commission = 8% of total sales

Commission of last week = 8% of $1456

= 0.08*1456 = $116.48

Gross salary = base salary + commission

= 400 + 116.48

= $516.48

Write the five term sequence that would represent each recursive rule f(x) = f(x-1) -7; f(2) = 12
barxatty [35]

<u>Answer: </u>

Required five terms of sequence are 19 , 12 , 5 , -2 and -9 .

<u> Solution: </u>

Need to find the five terms of the sequence.

Given recursive rule is f(x) = f(x-1) -7

Substituting x = 2 , f(2) = f(2-1)-7

= f(2) = f(1) – 7    ------(1)

Also given that f(2) = 12.  

On substituting the given value of f(2) in eq (1) we get

12 = f(1) – 7

f(1) = 12 + 7 = 19

Using given recursive rule and given value of f(2) calculating f(3)

Substituting x = 3 ,  

f(3) = f(3-1) – 7  

= f(2) – 7  

= 12 – 7  

= 5

Using given recursive rule and calculated  value of f(3) calculating f(4)

Substituting x = 4,  

f(4) = f(4-1) – 7  

= f(3) – 7  

= 5– 7  

= -2

Using given recursive rule and calculated  value of f(4) calculating f(5)

Substituting x = 5,  

f(5) = f(5-1) – 7  

= f(4) – 7  

= -2– 7  

= -9

Hence required five terms of sequence are 19 , 12 , 5 , -2 and -9 .
