Remark

The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136

Step One

Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8

Alex = 3/8 * 136

Alex = 408/8 = 51

Step 2

Find the number that Freddy has.

The total is 136

<u>Formula</u>

Freddy = Total - Alex

Freddy = 136 - 51

Freddy = 85

<u>Check</u>

Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85

5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.

Difference

Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.

When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left.
aliina [53]

Answer:

When multiplying a number by 10, move the decimal to the right. Whenever a number is multiplied by 10, the decimal is shifted to one place in the right.

Like : 7.36\times10=73.6

When multiplying a number by 0.1, move the decimal to the left. This means the number is multiplied by \frac{1}{10} or we can say the number is simply divided by 10.

So, when a number is divided by 10, the decimal is shifted to one place on the left.

Like : 44.56\times0.1=4.456

or \frac{44.56}{10}=4.456

F(x) = Square root of quantity x plus seven. ; g(x) = 8x - 11 Find f(g(x)). (1 point)
Ahat [919]

Answer:

2 sqrt(2x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = sqrt(x+7)

g(x) = 8x-11

f(g(x))=

Place g(x) in for x in the function f(x)

f(g(x)) = sqrt( 8x-11 +7)

          = sqrt( 8x -4)

Factor out 4

          = sqrt( 4(2x-1)

          = 2 sqrt(2x-1)

Expression A: 3(x + 2) Expression B: 3x + 6....... Which statement does not show that these expressions are equivalent? O A. Sub
Dovator [93]

Answer:

D. 3(x+2) can be rewritten as 3x + 6 using the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x + 2) = 3x + 6

Required

Explain

From the list of given options, option D answers the question.

This is because, the expression above involves distributive property and only option D correctly states that.

A distributive property is:

a*(b + c) = a*b + a * c

In this case:

a = 3  b = x   and c = 2

So:

a*(b + c) = a*b + a * c

Substitute values for a, b and c

3*(x + 2) = 3 * x + 3 * 2

3(x + 2) = 3x + 6
