Explain how you know 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3
Roman55 [17]
7/12
1/3=4/12
2/3=8/12

7/12>1/3
<span>7/12<2/3
</span>

convert all of these to a common denominator:
7/12 , 1/3 , 2/3
---
7/12 = 7/12
1/3 = 4/12
2/3 = 8/12
---
place into compound inequality:
---
(1/3=4/12) < (7/12=7/12) < (2/3=8/12)

Through: (-3,0), perp. to y = 3x - 1
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given: </u>

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

The slope of the given line is m=3

If m_1 is the slope of perpendicular line, then

m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}

So, the equation of the needed line is y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

-3x+2&lt;8 answer this equation
icang [17]

Answer:

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+2<8

Subtract 2 from each side

-3x+2-2<8 -2

-3x < 6

Divide each side by -3. remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 >6/-3

x>-2

How to subtract percentages that are fractions
natali 33 [55]
"you can convert the percent to a fraction or decimal. While you might need to subtract a percent from a percent when working in finance, if you are working on homework you more likely will come across problems where you need to subtract a percent from a whole number."

A sequence is shown.
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence of numbers is increasing in geometric progression. The consecutive terms differ by a common ratio, r

Common ratio = 6/3 = 12/6 = 2

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 3

r = 2

The function, f(n), representing the nth term of the sequence is

f(n) = 3 × 2^(n - 1)
