Why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

y(x) = ax + b

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that b = 17.32

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is a = 0.0732

Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.

y(x) = ax + b

y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32

What are the coordinates of the terminal point determined by t=20pi/3?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

(- 1/2 , √3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

t=20π/3

t' = 20π/3 - 6π = 2π/3   (120°) ... 2nd quadrant

If we start from (1,0) of unit circle, the coordinate of terminal point (x,y)

OF/OE = - cos 60° = x / 1 =  - 1/2

FE/OE = sin 60° = y/1  = √3/2

The constant of proportionality is always the point___________, where k is the constant of proportionality
TiliK225 [7]
Let's take as example a linear function of the form:
 y = kx.
 Where,
 k is the constant of proportionality.
 Therefore, the proportionality constant is the point:
 (x, kx)
 Generically it is always the point:
 (x, k * f (x))
 Where, f (x) is a function proportional to x.
 answer:
 The constant of proportionality is always the point (x, k * f (x)), where k is the constant of proportionality.
