The prime factors of 12 are : 2 x 2 x 3.....and 3 is the largest

4 1/3 is a mixed number because it has a whole number and a fraction.

Answer:

(1) Since, a number which has only two factors, one and itself is called a prime number,

Now, the factor of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

By the above numbers 3 is the largest prime number,

Hence, the largest prime factor of twelve is 3.

(2) Here, the given fraction,

$4\frac{1}{3}$

We know that a fraction in which denominator > numerator is called proper fraction otherwise it is called improper fraction,

The simple form of the above fraction is,

$\frac{13}{3}$

13 > 3,

⇒ Given fraction is an improper or mixed fraction.

In a talent show of singing and comedy acts, singing acts are 4.5 minutes long and comedy acts are 3.5 minutes long. The show ha

Alik [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of singing act be x

Let the number of comedy act be y

If the total act is 14, then;

x+y = 14..... 1

If singing acts are 4.5 minutes long and comedy acts are 3.5 minutes long and the acts lasts 59 minutes, then:

4.5x + 3.5y = 59 .......... 2

Solve both equation simultaneously for x and y

x+y = 14

45x+35y = 590

.................................

x+y = 14......... *9

9x+7y = 118....... 1

...............................

9x+9y = 126

9x+7y = 118

Subtract both equations

9y-7y = 126-118

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into equation 1;

From 1: x+y = 14

x+4 = 14

x = 14-4

x =10

Hence there are 10 singing acts and 4 comedy acts in the show

A supervisor finds the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work. Which mileage is within a z-score

Vikentia [17]

The z-score tells you how many standard deviations from the mean.

<span>1.5 * 3.6 = 5.4 miles </span>

<span>So anything within 5.4 miles of the average (29). </span>

<span>The range would be: </span>
<span>29 - 5.4 = 23.6 </span>
<span>to: </span>
<span>29 + 5.4 = 34.4 </span>

<span>23.6 ≤ x ≤ 34.4 </span>

<span>Answer: </span>
<span>B) 24 miles</span>

Question # 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$ ∵ $\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}$ ∵ $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20$

$=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-8+5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3$

$=\frac{-3}{20}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{3}{20}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Question # 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}$ ∵ $\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}$ ∵ $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140$

$=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-24-1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25$

$=\frac{-25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=-\frac{5}{28}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$
