Answer:

7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven-ninths (7/9) of the pencils in a box are yellow and three-tenths (3/10) of the yellow pencils are sharpened.

To find the fraction that represents sharpened yellow pencils, we find the product of the the fraction of yellow pencils and the fraction of yellow pencils that are sharpened.

That is:

=> (7 / 9) * (3 / 10)

=(7 * 3) / (9 * 10)

= 21 / 90

= 7 / 30

7/30 represents the fraction of sharpened yellow pencils.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the fifth grade class, \frac{4}{5} of the girls have brown hair. Again among those of the brown-haired girls, \frac{3}{4} of them have long hair.

We are asked to find the fraction of the girls who have long brown hair in the class.

The fraction of the total students which have long brown hair will be (\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}) = \frac{3}{5} . (Answer)

The sum of two confescutive integers is at least 46. What is the least possibly pair of integers?
dezoksy [38]
An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.

1) 21 + 23: not consecutive
2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46
3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46
4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46

So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.

x= first integer
x+1= second integer

x + (x+1) >= 46
2x + 1 >=46
2x>=45
x>=22.5

Answer:
The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.

Hope this helps! :)
