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

1 answer:

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.

2 Find the slope from the 2 points. (-12,-9) and ( 18, 6) -2 -1/2 2 1/2

lawyer [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is the ratio y/x.

that means when going from one point to the other, how many units is y changing, when x changes a certain number of units.

so, going from one point to the other here, x changes by 30 units (from -12 to +18). and y changes 15 units (from -9 to 6).

therefore, the slope is

15/30 = 1/2

what is the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube

Dmitrij [34]

Let the least possible value of the smallest of 99 cosecutive integers be x and let the number whose cube is the sum be p, then

$\frac{99}{2} (2x+98)=p^3 \\ \\ 99x+4,851=p^3\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{p^3-4,851}{99}$

By substitution, we have that $p=33$ and $x=314$ .

Therefore, the least possible value of the smallest of 99 consecutive positive integers whose sum is a perfect cube is 314.

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient 2,545÷4

victus00 [196]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

round 2,545 to 2,400 and keep 4 the same because 24 goes into 4 six times so 2400/4 equals 600

24/4 is 6 and you add the two zeros
