5/8 is your answer. Hope this helps :)

The common denominator for the numbers 4, 2 and 8 is 8.
This means we have to make 3/4 and 1/2 have the denominator of 8.

To get from 4 to 8 is to multiply by 2 and vice versa. This leads to 3/4 turning to 6/8 and 1/2 to 4/8.

The question now is...
6/8 + 4/8 - 5/8
If you calculate the question now it would equal to 5/8 because 6+4-5 equals 5.

mode = 43

the mode is the value which occurs most

43 occurs 3 times, 38 twice and the others only once

Hence 43 is the mode

How do I find the equation of the perpendicular bisector between (-2,5) and (2,-1)?

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of the given line.

$\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }$

Slope of given line

$= \frac{5 - ( - 1)}{ - 2 - 2}$

$= \frac{5 + 1}{ - 4}$

$= \frac{6}{ - 4}$

$= - \frac{3}{2}$

A perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its midpoint perpendicularly.

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular bisector be m.

$- \frac{3}{2} m = - 1$

$m = - 1 \div ( - \frac{3}{2} )$

$m = - 1 \times ( - \frac{2}{3} )$

$m = \frac{2}{3}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + c$ , where c is the y-intercept.

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that lies on the perpendicular bisector into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, we can use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates.

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x _{1} + x _2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )}$

Midpoint of given line

$= ( \frac{ - 2+ 2}{2} , \frac{5 - 1}{2} )$

$=( \frac{0}{2} , \frac{4}{2} )$

= (0, 2)

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + c$

When x= 0, y= 2,

2= ⅔(0) +c

2= 0 +c

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is $y = \frac{2}{3} x + 2$ .

Use counters to find the quotient and remainder for 36 divide a by 8

koban [17]

First, you take 36 counters and spread them out. You then separate them into groups of 8 and any left that cannot be separated into groups of 8 are the remainders. When you do this, you will find that you are able to separate 36 into 4 groups of eight, and you will get a remainder of 4, so your answer is 4 remainder 4
