Explain why 1/2 is not equivalent to 2/5.

2 answers:

7 0

Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

1/2 = 50%
2/5 = 40%
50% is more than 40%

We know that ∠EFG=∠ABF because they are corresponding angles.

We also know that ∠x+∠ABF=180, because angles along a straight line always equal 180:

x+105=180

x=75°

A detective finds a victim of murder at 9 am. At that time, the temperature of the body is 90.3 degrees F. One hour later, the b

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

at 9 am temperature of the body is $90.3^{\circ}F$

1 hr later temperature $89^{\circ}F$

Temperature of room $T=68^{\circ}F$

According to newtons law

$\frac{\mathrm{d} T}{\mathrm{d} t}=-k\left ( T-T_{room}\right )$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} T}{\mathrm{d} t}=-k\left ( T-68\right )$

$\frac{dT}{T-68}=-kdt$

Integrating

$=\int \frac{dT}{T-68}=-kdt$

$\ln |T-68|=-kt+c$

$T-68=Ae^{-kt}$

Now at 9 am i.e. t=0,

$90.3=A+68$

$A=22.3$

At 10 am i.e. t=1 hr T=89

$89-68=22.3e^{-k}$

$e^{-k}=21$

$k=0.06006$

Temperature of Normal human body is $T=98.6 ^{\circ}F$

$98.6-68=e^{-0.06006t}$

$30.6=e^{-0.06006t}$

Taking log both sides

$t=-5.27$

i.e. 5 hr and 16.2 min

i.e. victim murdered at 3 am and 43.8 min
