How are mixed numbers used in The real world

1 answer:

3 0

Often, mixed number are used in terms of amounts of something. You would never say I have 16/5 pies. You would say I have 3 full pies and 1/5 of another pie.

In this example, 3 1/5 is better to use than the improper 16/5

Hope this helps!

If john makes a contribution to a charity fund at school, the average contribution size will increase by 50% reaching $75 per pe

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$Z= 75*6 -250=200$

So then the correct answer is B. $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

Let X be the average contribution size before John makes his contribution.

Let Y be the total contribution size before John makes his contribution.

Let Z be John's contribution.

We know that for this case $ 75 represent the original average amount before the contribution with 50% increase so we can set up the following equation in order to find the original average amount

$1.5 X = 75$

And solvong for X we got:

$X = \frac{75}{1.5}= 50$

Now we can find the total contribution before the donation with the following proportion:

$\frac{50}{1}= \frac{Y}{5}$

$Y = 250$

And then with the formula of average taking in count the 6 values we can find the size of donation Z like this:

$\frac{Y+Z}{6}= 75$

$\frac{250+Z}{6}= 75$

$Z= 75*6 -250=200$

So then the correct answer is B. $200.

Large frappe; x≥8 color in dot on 8 and shade right→

med capp; x less than 2 open circle on 2 shade left←

small tea; x≤4 color in dot on 4 shade left←

all; x greater than 2 open circle on 2 shade right→

This does not follow the instructions because 6 is not greater than or equal to 8

Simplify the square root of 3 times the fifth root of 3.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<h2><em>Three to the three fifths power.</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3} }$

To simplify this expression, we have to use a specific power property which allow us to transform a root into a power with a fractional exponent, the property states:

$\sqrt[n]{x^{m}}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}$

Applying the property, we have:

$\sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3}}=\sqrt{3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}}}=(3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Now, we multiply exponents:

$(3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}})^{\frac{1}{2}}\\3^{\frac{1}{2}}3^{\frac{1}{10}}$

Then, we sum exponents to get the simplest form:

$3^{\frac{1}{2}}3^{\frac{1}{10}}=3^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{10}} =3^{\frac{10+2}{20}}=3^{\frac{12}{20}} \\\therefore \sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3}}=3^{\frac{3}{5} }$
