Division of two quantities is expressed as the quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers. One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is by employing the long division method where the quotient value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

Determine the slope from the given graph below:

Greeley [361]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference".

so, let's find 2 good points (I mean by that with integer coordinates). I see e.g.

(-1, -1) and (0, -7)

x changes by +1 (from -1 to 0).

y changes by -6 (from -1 to -7).

so, the slope is -6/1 = -6.

D is the right answer.

Allison bought jelly beans to share with her friends. She bought pounds of blueberry jelly beans and pounds of lemon jelly beans

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is provided in the attachment.

Given, Amount blueberry jelly beans= $1\dfrac{1}{4}$ pounds

$=\dfrac{5}{4}$ pounds.

Amount lemon jelly beans = $2\dfrac{1}{3}$ pounds

$=\dfrac{7}{2}$ pounds

Total jelly beans she bought = Amount blueberry jelly beans + Amount lemon jelly beans

$=(\dfrac{5}{4}+\dfrac{7}{3})$ pounds

$=\frac{15+28}{12}\text{ pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{43}{12}\text{ pounds}$

Amount of jelly beans she gave away = $1\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}\text{ pounds}$

Amount of jelly beans she has left= Total jelly beans - Amount of jelly beans she gave away

= $\dfrac{43}{12}-\dfrac{5}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{43-20}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{12}\\\\=1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}$

She has left $1\dfrac{11}{12}\text{ pounds}$ of jelly beans.

I need help with this equation. 9q - 14 + 3(q - 8) = 7 I looked it up and the answer was 3.75, however I don't understand how it

coldgirl [10]

Parentheses first

9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7

Combine like terms

9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7

add 38 to both sides

12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38

12q = 45

divide both sides by 12

q = 45/12
q = 3.75

Find a diginacci sequence with no equal term to 11: quick answer please

True [87]

Answer:

uhh hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

A Diginacci sequence is created as follows.

• The ﬁrst two terms are any positive whole numbers.

• Each of the remaining terms is the sum of the digits of the previous

two terms.

For example, starting with 5 and 8 the Diginacci sequence is

5, 8, 13, 12, 7, 10,. . .

The calculations for this example are

5 + 8 = 13, 8 + 1 + 3 = 12, 1+ 3 +1+ 2 = 7, 1 + 2 + 7 = 10.

a) List the ﬁrst 26 terms of the Diginacci sequence above.

b) Find, with explanation, two starting terms for a Diginacci sequence

so that its 2021st term is 11.

c) Find, with explanation, a Diginacci sequence that has no term equal

to 11.

d) Find, with explanation, a sequence with two diﬀerent starting terms

which contains ﬁve consecutive terms that are even and not all identical

Both 2 and 3 is correct.
