1. A) 5 (It would be B. because it does equal 4.09 but it has to be 5 because it is the greatest integer in all of them)
2. D) 10 (Just like 1. it would be B. also BUT 10 is the greatest integer you can have out of all of them)
3. A) 6 (Just like the other 2 problems at the top^ it would be C. if not for the fact it has a higher number.)
4. A) A value we can put in place of a variable (such as x) that makes the equation true.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The bar should be 8 1/24 from the each edge of the door.
We need to subtract 10 1/4 from 26 1/3 to get the fraction of the space not covered by the towel bar.
We also need to divide the difference by 2 because we placed the towel bar in the center of the door.
1st we need to convert the mixed fractions into fractions to perform subtraction.
26 1/3 = ((26*3)+1)/3 = 79/3
10 1/4 = ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4
Steps in Subtracting Fractions
Step 1. Make sure the denominator is the same. 3 and 4 are the denominators, they are not the same but they are factor of 12. So,
79/3 must be multiplied by 4 = 79 * 4 / 3 * 4 = 316 / 12
41/4 must be multiplied by 3 = 41 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 123 / 12
Step 2. Subtract the numerators and place them above the common denominator
316/12 - 123/12 = 316 - 123 / 12 = 193 / 12
Before we can simplify the fraction, we must divide it by two to get the measurement of each edge of the door.
Steps in dividing fractions.
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1st fraction : 193 / 12
2nd fraction : 2 /1 ⇒ reciprocal 1/2
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
193 / 12 * 1/2 = 193 * 1 / 12 * 2 = 193 / 24
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
193 / 24 = 8 1/24
Answer:
$286.80
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the price after the 150% markup:
478(1.5)
= 717
Now, calculate the price with the 60% discount:
717(0.4)
= 286.8
= $286.80
