Yes. All you have to do is simplify the fraction to its lowest term.

No we cant. Fractions when simplified can be a repeating number like 1/3 but you cant have like 54.545454/2 . You can turn a repeating decimal into a fraction but it doesn't work the other way. Its just how math works. Same thing as how you can;t have a decimal in a fraction. You always need to simplify the fraction if it has a repeating number or a decimal. Its just how it works. Sorry if I can't explain it too well

the earth rotates about its axis once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. Approximate the number of radians the earth rota

marishachu [46]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{43082}\text{ radians per second}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Time taken in one rotation of earth = 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds and 1 hour = 3600 seconds,

⇒ Time taken in one rotation of earth = (23 × 3600 + 56 × 60 + 4) seconds

= 86164 seconds,

Now, the number of radians in one rotation = 2π,

That is, 86164 seconds = 2π radians

$\implies 1\text{ second }=\frac{2\pi}{86164}=\frac{\pi}{43082}\text{ radians}$

Hence, the number of radians in one second is $\frac{\pi}{43082}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a) \dfrac{3x}{2}-5=4$

Add 5 to both sides

$\dfrac{3x}{2}-5 +5 = 4 + 5\\\\\dfrac{3x}{2} = 9 \\\\Now \ multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2 \\\\\dfrac{3x}{2}*2 = 9*2\\\\3x = 18\\Now \ divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 3\\\\x =\dfrac{18}{3}\\\\$

x = 6

$b) \dfrac{x-3}{5} + 1 = -2\\\\\\Subtract \ 1 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -2 -1\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -3\\\\Multiply \ both \ side \ by \ 5\\\\x - 3 = -3*5\\\\x -3 = -15\\\\$

Add 3 to both sides

x = -15 +3

x = -12
