A mechanic is using a machine that makes metal parts. She measures each part to confirm it is the correct size. Negative numbers

mean the part is too small, and positive numbers mean the part is too big. Which list shows the numbers the mechanic records in order from least to greatest?
1/8 - 3/16 - 1/4 - 1/32 - 5/32 - 1/16

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown.

We have to transform all the fractions to new fractions with the same denominator, as follows:

1/8 *4/4 = 4/32

-3/16 *2/2 = -6/32

-1/4 *8/8 = -8/32

1/32

5/32

-1/16 *2/2 = -2/32

Now we can order the list simply comparing numerators:

-8/32, -6/32, -2/32, 1/32, 4/32, 5/32

or

-1/4, -3/16, -1/16, 1/32, 1/8, 5/32

The point A = (7,4) is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3. What are the coordinates of A' ?
fomenos

Given:

The coordinates of point A are (7,4).

It is dilated from the origin by a scale factor r = 3.

To find:

The coordinates of A'.

Solution:

If a figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor k, then

(x,y)\to (kx,ky)

Here, the figure is dilated from the origin by a scale factor 3, so the rule of dilation is given by:

(x,y)\to (3x,3y)

Using this rule, we get

A(7,4)\to A'(3(7),3(4))

A(7,4)\to A'(21,12)

Therefore, the coordinates of point A' are (21,12).

Use the table to write a linear function that relates y to x.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{2}{3} x

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a linear function in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 4) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = \frac{-4-2}{1-(-8)} = \frac{-6}{1+8} = \frac{-6}{9} = - \frac{2}{3}

the ordered pair (0, 0 ) indicates the line crosses through the origin, then

c = 0

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 0 , that is

y = - \frac{2}{3} x ← equation of linear function

Express a decimal number ( ie 0.768) - process description please - as a rational number (96/125)?
Stels [109]

The decimal representation of any number is a linear combination of powers of 10. In other words, given a number like 123.456, we can expand it as

1\cdot10^2+2\cdot10^1+3\cdot10^0+4\cdot10^{-1}+5\cdot10^{-2}+6\cdot10^{-3}

10^{-n}=\dfrac1{10^n} for any n, so the above is the same as

100+20+3+\dfrac4{10}+\dfrac5{100}+\dfrac6{1000}=\dfrac{100000+20000+3000+400+50+6}{1000}=\dfrac{123456}{1000}

Similarly, we can write

0.768=\dfrac{768}{1000}

Now it's a question of reducing the fraction as much as possible. We have \mathrm{gcd}(768,1000)=8 so

\dfrac{768}{1000}=\dfrac{96\cdot8}{125\cdot8}=\dfrac{96}{125}
