Answer:

The correct option is C: 1 2/5 - a fraction less than 2/5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We want the result is always greater than 1.

A: 8/9 x a number less than 1.

8/9 = 0.88... if we multiply it with a number less than 1, the result will always less than 1.

For example:

0.88... × 0.999.. = 0.88...

Thus, the option is incorrect.

B: 7 x a number less than 1

7 multiply a number less than 1 will not ALWAYS give a result greater than 1

For example:

7 × 0.01 = 0.07

Thus, the option is incorrect.

C: 1 2/5 - a fraction less than 2/5

1 2/5 = 7/5 or 1.4

2/5 = 0.4

If we subtract 1.4 from 0.4 the result will 1. But it is given that we can subtract a fraction less than 2/5.

That means the result will always greater than 1.

For example:

1.4 - 0.399999 = 1.000001

Which is greater than 1.

Thus, the option is correct.

D: 3/7 + a number less than 1/2

3/7 = 0.4286 (Approximately)

1/2 = 0.5

If we will add them the result will always less than 1.

So the sum of 3/7 and a number less than 1/2 will always less than 1.

Thus, the option is incorrect.

Hence, the correct option is C: 1 2/5 - a fraction less than 2/5 .

C is the answer, because the statmen placed on this one is true 1&3/4 is actually greater then 3/4 when if you just left that 1 & 3/4 with just a one it would still be greater.

Dale is standing 2x+7 feet from the base of a tower, the tower is 8x-4 feet tall. What is the distance between dale and the top
V125BC [204]

Answer:

6x - 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Dale is standing (2x + 7) feet height from the base of the tower.

And the tower is given to be (8x - 4)feet tall.

We have to find the distance between Dale and the top of the tower.

Now, the distance between dale and the top of the tower = height of the tower - height of Dale = (8x - 4) - (2x + 7) = (6x - 11) feet. (Answer)

An acute angle measures less than π/2 but greater than 0
Ivenika [448]
If you're looking for an angle in between those, basically you have to choose an angle between 0 and 90°. any angle should work (such as 15°, 45°, 60°, 75°, etc.)

A rectangular auditorium seats 1564 people. the number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 1212. find the number
yanalaym [24]
<span>We can safely assume that 1212 is a misprint and the number of seats in a row exceeds the number of rows by 12. Let r = # of rows and s = # of seats in a row. Then, the total # of seats is T = r x s = r x ( r + 12), since s is 12 more than the # of rows. Then r x (r + 12) = 1564 or r**2 + 12*r - 1564 = 0, which is a quadratic equation. The general solution of a quadratic equation is: x = (-b +or- square-root( b**2 - 4ac))/2a In our case, a = 1, b = +12 and c = -1564, so x = (-12 +or- square-root( 12*12 - 4*1*(-1564) ) ) / 2*1 = (-12 +or- square-root( 144 + 6256 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- square-root( 6400 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- 80) / 2 = 34 or - 46 We ignore -46 since negative rows are not possible, and have: rows = 34 and seats per row = 34 + 12 = 46 as a check 34 x 46 = 1564 = total seats</span>
