2/8 is less than 1/2.

This is because if we simplify the fraction 2/8, we get 1/4, and we know that 1/4 < 1/2.

Nastasia [14]

Answer: $7200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The policy covers the damage of $50,000 PIP

He injured 10 people including himself

The total cost of injuries is $72,000

The cost per person is $7200

The company only pays for the damaged bear by the policyholder, not by the others.

$\therefore$ the company only pays $7200 in coverage.

A rancher has 4 comma 700 feet of fencing available to enclose a rectangular area bordering a river. he wants to separate his co

guapka [62]

Area=length*width
let the sides perpendicular to the river be x
then the side parallel to the river is 4,700-2x
A(x)=x(4700-2x)
A(x)=4700x-2x^2

This a quadratic function with a=-2 and b=4700
thus
Maximum area occurs where x=-b/2a=-4700(-2*2)=1,175 ft
length=4700-2(1175)=2,350 ft

Question 2 (5 points)

Answer:

The greatest common factor is 8xyz

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of an expression involving numbers and variables, we find each greatest common factor separately.

Numbers:

48, 24 and 56.

We find the greatest common factor factoring them simultaneously while all can be factored by the same number. The GCF is the multiplication of the factors. So

48 - 24 - 56|2

24 - 12 - 28|2

12 - 6 - 14|2

6 - 3 - 7|

They cant be factored by the same factors anymore, so the numeric GCF is 8.

Variables:

For each variable, the GCF will be the lowest exponent.

Variable x: We have exponents 1, 2 and 2. So the GCF is $x^1 = x$
