For any x in Real numbers, [x] is the greatest possible integer smaller than x, or equal to x if x is an integer.

According to this,

[2.4] is the greatest integer , smaller than or equal to (so non greater) 2.4. This number is 2

similarly, [-2.4] is the greatest integer , smaller than or equal to (so non greater) -2.4. This number is -3.

Answer:

A) Because 2 is the greatest integer not greater than 2.4 and –3 is the greatest integer not greater than –2.4.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the size of the whole apple be T

Given that 3/4 of the apple is left, it means the size left

= 3T/4

Since Victor plans to eat 1/4 of the pie that was left, this amounts to

1/4 * 3T/4

= 3T/16

This means that Victor will eat 3/16 of the whole pie tomorrow

I round to 900 I have twice as many hundreds as ones and all my digits are different but their sums are 18 can someone answer th

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The number of once is 9.1

The number of hundreds is 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total of digits having ones and hundreds = 900

The sum of digits = 18

Let The number of ones digit = O

And The number of hundreds digit = H

So, According to question

H + O = 18 .........1

100 × H + 1 × O = 900 ........2

Solving the equation

( 100 × H - H ) + ( O - O ) = 900 - 18

Or, 99 H + 0 = 882

Or , 99 H = 882

∴ H = $\frac{882}{99}$

I.e H = 8.9

Put the value of H in eq 1

So, O = 18 - H

I.e O = 18 - 8.9

∴ O = 9.1

So, number of once = 9.1

number of hundreds = 8.9

Hence The number of once is 9.1 and The number of hundreds is 8.9
