Notice how 1/2 and 3/8 are positive numbers. We add two positive numbers meaning that the result should be larger. However 2/5 = 0.4 is not larger than 1/2 = 0.5

So something went wrong with the adding. It turns out that the error is when the person added the numbers in the denominators (2 and 8 to get 10). This is not allowed. The denominators must be the same and stay the same in order for the fractions to be added.

For example: 1/7 + 2/7 = (1+2)/7 = 3/7
The 7s in the denominator do not change

Therefore the answer is choice B) Not true because 2/5 < 1/2

you are riding a bicycle which has tires with a 25-inch diameter at a steady 15-miles per hour, what is the angular velocity of
motikmotik

Answer:

The angular velocity is 6.72 π radians per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the angular velocity is ω = \frac{v}{r} , where v is the linear velocity and r is the radius of the circle

The unit of the angular velocity is radians per second

∵ The diameter of the tire is 25 inches

∵ The linear velocity is 15 miles per hour

- We must change the mile to inch and the hour to seconds

∵ 1 mile = 63360 inches

∵ 1 hour = 3600 second

∴ 15 miles/hour = 15 ×  \frac{63360}{3600}

∴ 15 miles/hour = 264 inches per second

Now let us find the angular velocity

∵ ω = \frac{v}{r}

∵ v = 264 in./sec.

∵ d = 25 in.

- The radius is one-half the diameter

∴ r = \frac{1}{2} × 25 = 12.5 in.

- Substitute the values of v and r in the formula above to find ω

∴ ω = \frac{264}{12.5}

∴ ω =  21.12 rad./sec.

- Divide it by π to give the answer in terms of π

∴ ω = 6.72 π radians per second

The angular velocity is 6.72 π radians per second

Mila graphs the point A
melamori03 [73]
Answers:
B. <span>The x-coordinate of point A is 5.
</span>E. <span>Point A is on the x-axis.
</span>
Explanation:
Any point drawn on the coordinates has the general notation of (x,y).
The given point is (5,0). This means that:
The x-coordinate of the point is 5
The y-coordinate of the point is 0

Now, let's check the place of this point.
The x-coordinate of the point is 5. This means that we will move 5 points to the right of the origin on the x-axis
The y-coordinate of the point is 0. This means that we will not move along the y-axis which means that the point stays on the x-axis.

Now, comparing the deduced results with the given choices, we will find that the correct choices are B and E

Hope this helps :)

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of
Aneli [31]
The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)

The diameter of a cookie is 2 inches. If π = 3.14, what is the area of the cookie, rounded to the nearest tenth?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

3.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the cookie =Pi r^2

Pi = 3.14

Diameter = 2inches

Radius r = diameter/2 = 2/2

= 1

Therefore

Area = 3.14 x 1^2

= 3.14 x 1 x 1

= 3.1 inches
