Which of the following is not a valid conversion factor?
inessss [21]

Answer:

Out of the 3 that were listed, the "conversion" that is invalid is 1 meter = 10 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Well, for something like this, you don't really need steps, you just need to know how to do process of elimination and also your conversions:

We know that 1 meter is 100 centimeters

We know 1 kilometer is 1000 meters

We know that 1 meter is 10 millim....... Wait. Do we know that?

No! 1 meter is not 10 millimeters, it's 1000 millimeters. So 1 meter = 10 millimeters is invalid.

If you ever need a converter, use this link: https://www.google.com/search?q=centimeters+to+inches&rlz=1CAFQZI_enCA835&oq=centim&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.9328j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

If an answer for this question is not a whole number, enter it as a decimal.
Naily [24]

Answer:  The answer would be A.  Or if that is what you are asking.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply decimals, you multiply like how you would for any other set of numbers. (It doesn't matter if you line the decimal points up or not.)

The only difference between multiplying normal numbers and decimals is the decimal point. How many digits there are to the right of the decimal point is how many times you move the decimal point for the new number to the left.

In the decimals 5.15 and 0.3, there are three digits to the right of the decimal in all, so, when you work this problem and come out with 1545, you move the decimal point to the left three times.

1^545

So the decimal point goes right between the 1 and the 5.

Hope I made it clear enough

<h3>Answer:     -n/(n+1)</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's expand this out up to say n = 6 terms

I'll write the summation in such a way that each (1/(k+1) - 1/k) grouping will get its own row. Each row has the same value of k.

If we plug in k = 1 through k = 6, but not evaluate just yet, we will have this:

1/(1+1) - 1/1

1/(2+1) - 1/2

1/(3+1) - 1/3

1/(4+1) - 1/4

1/(5+1) - 1/5

1/(6+1) - 1/6

All I've done so far is replace k with 1 through 6. Again, each row represents a different k value. Each row has the general format 1/(k+1)-1/k.

Let's simplify everything in the first column.

So the (1+1) turns into 2, the (2+1) turns into 3, and so on.

Doing that leads to...

1/2 - 1/1

1/3 - 1/2

1/4 - 1/3

1/5 - 1/4

1/6 - 1/5

1/7 - 1/6

Then note how we have the cancellations shown in the diagram below. The color coding shows how the terms pair up to cancel out. By "cancel out", I mean specifically that the fractions add up to 0. Eg: 1/2 + (-1/2) = 0.

Nearly everything cancels out. The only things left after the dust settles is the -1/1 in the first row and the 1/7 in the bottom row. This evaluates to 1/7-1/1 = 1/7 - 7/7 = (1-7)/1 = -6/7

If you were to try this with n = 7, then you should find that again nearly everything cancels but the fractions -1/1 and 1/8. Then 1/8 - 1/1 = -7/8.

For n = 8, you should end up with 1/9 - 1/1 = -8/9.

You can probably see the pattern.

A conjecture is that the answer is -n/(n+1). The general proof of this isn't too tricky. Simply follow the same ideas as mentioned above. Expand out a few terms and see how things cancel out. You'll find that everything cancels except for the -1/1 in the first row and the 1/(n+1) just one term before the very end. Then we can say:

1/(n+1) - 1/1

1/(n+1) - (n+1)/(n+1)

(1-(n+1))/(n+1)

(1-n-1)/(n+1)

-n/(n+1)

If we tried n = 6, then we find,

-n/(n+1) = -6/(6+1) = -6/7

which was the result we found earlier when we added the first n = 6 terms of this series. Trying out n = 7 should lead to -n/(n+1) = -7/8, and so on.

A bicycle manufacturing company makes a particular type of bike. Each child bike requires 4 hours to build and 4 hours to test.

Yes, because the bike order meets the restrictions of 4c + 6a ≤ 120 and 4c + 4a ≤ 100.
