Answer:

You can determine this by putting the rational numbers in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number like 1/2 will have a terminating decimal answer = 0.5

A rational number like 7/11 will have a terminating decimal answer = 0.636 where 36 is repeating.

Keep in mind you would need a total of 120 ounces.
A: Corn cereal comes in 12 oz boxes and the person used 5 boxes, thus taking 60 oz away from the total, leaving 60 oz. Next, you’d have to divide 60 oz by 4 (since that’s how many boxes of wheat cereal were used). Resulting in a wheat box being worth 15 ounces!!
B: 12c+ 15w= 120 (c= corn cereal, w= wheat cereal)
C: 5 boxes of corn cereal with 4 boxes of wheat cereal; 0 boxes of corn cereal with 8 boxes of wheat cereal; 10 boxes of corn cereal with 0 boxes of wheat cereal.

A multiple-choice test contains 10 questions. There are four possible answers for each question. a) In how many ways can a stude

AnnZ [28]

Answer :

<h3> $4^{10}$ <u> =1048576 ways </u> a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a multiple-choice test contains 10 questions and there are 4 possible answers for each question.

∴ Answers=4 options for each question.

<h3>To find how many ways a student can answer the given questions on the test if the student answers every question :</h3>

Solving this by product rule

Product rule :

<u>If one event can occur in m ways and a second event occur in n ways, the number of ways of two events can occur in sequence is then m.n</u>

From the given the event of choosing the answer of each question having 4 options is given by

The 1st event of picking the answer of the 1st question=4 ,

2nd event of picking the answer of the 2nd question=4 ,

3rd event of picking the answer of the 3rd question=4

,....,

10th event of picking the answer of the 10th question=4.

It can be written as by using the product rule

$=4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4$

$=4^{10}$

$=1048576$

<h3>∴ there are 1048576 ways a student can answer the questions on the test if the student answers every question.</h3>

In January. The temperature in Fargo, North Dakota is -2 F. On the same day, the temperature in Cheyenne, Wyoming was 1 F. Write

zaharov [31]

Answer:

(a) $1 > -2$ or $-2 < 1$

(b) $2 > 1$ or $1 < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$N = -2F$ --- North Dakota

$C = 1F$ --- Cheyenne, Wyoming

Solving (a): Inequality to compare both temperatures

From the given temperatures, we can conclude that:

$C > N$ or $N < C$

Because

$1 > -2$ i.e. 1 is greater than -2

$-2 < 1$ i.e. -2 is less than 1

Solving (b): Inequality to compare the absolute values of the temperatures

We have:

$N = -2F$

$C = 1F$

The absolute values are:

$|N| = |-2|$

$|N| =2$

$|C| = |1|$

$|C| = 1$

By comparison:

$|N| > |C|$ or $|C| < |N|$

Because

$2 > 1$ i.e. 2 is greater than 1

$1 < 2$ i.e. 1 is less than 2
