Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement two pieces are of same length:

If the length of one piece is x,

Then the length of other piece is also x.

And one piece is 2 feet longer than the other two = x+2

Total length of a board = 10 foot

Now make the equation from these terms:

x+x+x+2= 10

This is the equation of the given question.

You can further solve this equation:

x+x+x+2=10

3x+2=10

Now combine the constants:

3x=10-2

3x=8

x=8/3

x=2.67

It means that the length of two pieces of same length is 2.67

And the length of one piece which is longer than the other two = x+2 = 2.67+2 = 4.67 ....

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1
ElenaW [278]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

We have that:

\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

\frac{5}{6}

and

\frac{5}{6}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

We have that:

1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}

So, we have that the pair of numbers

\frac{6}{7}

and

\frac{12}{7}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}

and

3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

How are piecewise functions and infinite limits alike? How are they different?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: i got 100% on the journal activity on EDGE with this “ The difference of piecewise functions and infinite limits is the graphs, with piecewise functions you're graphing several equations... when looking at a graph with an infinite limit there is a difference. A similarity they do have is their end points.” I haven’t been paying attention at all so this I made this up and some how it works(?!)

Step-by-step explanation: I’m not sure if it’s even correct but it worked as a response!
