Answer:

The smaller number can be 8 or \frac{1}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

let the larger number is x and the smaller number is y

A positive number is 3 times another number.

3y=x

If we add 2 to the larger and 5 to the smaller, then one of them becomes 2 times the other.

Case I: If 2nd number is 2 times to the first number.

x+2=2(y+5)

Substitute the value of x.

3y+2=2y+10

y=8

Now substitute the value of y in 3y=x

3(8)=x

x=24

Therefore, the smaller number is 8.

Case II: If 1st number is 2 times to the second number.

2(x+2)=y+5

Substitute the value of x.

2(3y+2)=y+5

6y+4=y+5

5y=1

y=\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, the smaller number is \frac{1}{5}.

Selected value of each decimel number when it is rounded to the nearest whole number ​
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  1. 5
  2. 6
  3. 6
  4. 5

Remember the decimal <em>hundredths</em> rounding ruleset.

  • If a decimal is below .50, round down.
  • If a decimal is .50, round up.
  • If a decimal is above .50, round up.

View this array below to get a better image.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.49(down)&0.50(up)&0.51(up)\end{array}\right]

So, for example, if you had 6.51, you would round that up to 7, and if you had 8.47, you would round that to 8

Step-by-step explanation:

101% 101/100 = 1 1/100

is 1  complete 100 grid and 1/100 of another grid so you will need 2 grids

589% 589/100 = 5 89/100

is 5 complete 100 grids and 89/100 of another grid so you will need 6 grids

1450% 1450/100 = 14 50/100

is 14 complete grids and 50/100 of another grid so you will need 15 grids

Which exponential function goes through the points (1, 8) and (4, 64)?
Mama L [17]
An exponential function can be expressed as:

y=ab^x  we have two points so we can solve

64/8=(ab^4)/(ab^1)

8=b^3

2=b, now we have:

y=a(2^x), using point (4,64)

64=a(2^4)

64=16a

4=a so

y=4(2^x)
