The fraction of the amount of money that Jing had left is \frac{1}{24}

  • The fraction of the amount of money Jing spent on the pack of pens = \frac{1}{3}
  • The fraction of the amount of money she spent on a pack of marker = \frac{1}{2}
  • The fraction of the amount of money she spent on a pack of pencils = \frac{1}{8}
  • The fraction of the money left = 1
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

One way to determine the total fraction of the amount of money she spent  = the fraction of the money left - the fraction of the amount she spent on pack of pens + fraction of the amount spent on marker + fraction of the money she spent on pencils

Firstly, without the fraction of the money left, we have:

= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8}

= \frac{8}{24} + \frac{12}{24} + \frac{3}{24}, it also the same as

= (8+12+3) / 24 (24 is the lowest common denominator)

= \frac{23}{24}

Since the fraction of the money left = 1

Therefore we have:

= 1 – \frac{23}{24}

= (24 x 1) – (23 x 1) / 24 (24 is the smallest number that can divide the denominators)

Therefore we have:

= 24 – 23 / 24

= \frac{1}{24}.

Therefore the fraction of the amount that Jing has left is \frac{1}{24}.

Notably, we solve this question using the BODMAS rule.

As per the problem

Jing spent \frac{1}{3} of her money on a pack of pens.

\frac{1}{2} of her money on a pack of markers.

and \frac{1}{8} of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent =\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent =\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\

\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\  \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}

Answer: Choice C

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

===========================================

Explanation:

When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so

f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5

f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5

f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.

The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below

-----------

Examples:

The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection

Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.

As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.

the diameter of a bike wheel is 25 inches. If the wheelmakes 20 Complete rotations, how far does the bike travel?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1571 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Diamter= 25 in

radius= 25/2= 12.5in

Circumference= 2πr

substitute

C=2*3.142*12.5

C=78.55in

In 1 revolution the bike will travel 78.55in

in 20 revolutions the bike will travel

=78.55*20

=1571 in
