Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s

⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s

⇒ 72 = 100s

⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72

Wich equation gives the number of 1/3 inches that are in 5/6 inches

lara31 [8.8K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

(1/3) x = (5/6)

Discussion:

I think you are asking for this equation:

(1/3) x = (5/6) => multiply both sides by 3

(1/3) 3 x = (5/6) 3 => as (1/3) *3 = 1

x = 5*3/6

x= 15/6

x = 5/2 = 2.5

Thank you,

Let Z={a,c,{a,b}}. What is |Z|?

Lina20 [59]

$Z=\{a,c,\{a,b\}\}$

$\boxed{|Z|=3}$ (treat $\{a,b\}$ as one element of $Z$ )

The power set of $Z$ is

$\boxed{2^Z=\bigg\{\{\},\{a\},\{c\},\big\{\{a,b\}\big\},\{a,c\},\big\{a,\{a,b\}\big\},\big\{c,\{a,b\}\big\},\big\{a,c,\{a,b\}\big\}\bigg\}}$

1. $\{a,c\}\subseteq Z$ is true because both $a\in Z$ and $c\in Z$ .

2. $a\in Z$ is true.

3. $\{c\}\subseteq Z$ is true (same reason as part 1).

4. $\{c\}\in Z$ is false because $Z$ does not contain the set $\{c\}$ , rather just the element $c$ itself.

5. $b\in Z$ is false because the element $b$ on its own simply is not in $Z$ . That $b\in\{a,b\}$ does not mean $b\in Z$ , but that $b$ belongs to a subset of $Z$ .

6. $\{a,b\}\in Z$ is true.
