Explain how the number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece

Mathematics
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]4 years ago
4 0
As the number of pieces in a whole gets larger, the size of the pieces gets smaller. This is represented by the denominator in a fraction. As the denominator increases, the number of pieces the whole is divided into also increases so the size of the pieces is smaller.
1/2 > 1/3 > 1/4 > 1/5 etc...

Fractions get smaller as the denominator gets bigger.

Eva8 [605]

the difference in the amount of interest Stephanie would have to pay for each of these two loans is $1950 . Correct option D) .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Stephanie is taking out a loan in the amount of $15,000. Her choices for the loan are a 4-year loan at 3% simple interest and a 5-year loan at 5% simple interest. We need to find the difference in the amount of interest Stephanie would have to pay for each of these two loans . let's find out:

a 4-year loan at 3% simple interest :

⇒ 4(\frac{15000(3)}{100})         { As loan is for 4 years we multiply by 4 }

⇒ 4(150(3))

⇒ $1800

a 5-year loan at 5% simple interest :

⇒ 5(\frac{15000(5)}{100})         { As loan is for 5 years we multiply by 5 }

⇒ 5(150(5))

⇒ $3750

So , Difference = $3750  - $1800 = $1950

Therefore , the difference in the amount of interest Stephanie would have to pay for each of these two loans is $1950 . Correct option D) .

What value of x makes the equation true? 4x - 3= -9 + 7x
uysha [10]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-value that makes the equation true, we would have to solve for x in the equation. To do that, we would have to get the equation in the form x = _. That would be our answer.

4x - 3 = -9 + 7x

Add 9 to both sides to get rid of the -9 on the right side.

4x - 3 + 9 = 7x

Simplify.

4x + 6 = 7x

Subtract 4x from both sides to get rid of the 4x on the left side.

6 = 7x - 4x

Simplify.

6 = 3x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3 to get rid of the coefficient of 3 on the left side.

x = 6/3

Simplify.

x = 2

So, the x-value that makes the equation true would be 2.

I hope this helps. :)

The sizes of two matrices A and B are given. Find the sizes of the product AB and the product BA, if the products are defined. A
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

AB: size 4 x 4

BA: size 2 x 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to multiply two matrices, we need first to check if the number of columns of the first matrix is equal the number of rows of the second matrix. Then, the resulting matrix would have the number of rows equal the number of rows of the first matrix, and the number of columns equal the number of columns of the second matrix.

That is, if we have a matrix A with dimensions a x b and a matrix B with dimensions c x d, to calculate the product AB we must have b = c, and the resulting product would have dimensions a x d.

Finally, if A is 4 x 2 and B is 2 x 4, we would have:

AB = (4 x 2) (2 x 4)

2 = 2 -> product is possible.

Dimensions of the result: 4 x 4

BA = (2 x 4) (4 x 2)

4 = 4 -> product is possible.

Dimensions of the result: 2 x 2
