What is the difference between rates and proportions???

frez [133]

A rate often involves time: e. g., 33 feet per second; also, we are finding the ratio of one type of measurement with respect to another: distance and time.

A proportion is often the ratio of different measures of the same thing:

e. g. 5 apples
------------
7 apples

Can someone help! I know the answer I just need step by step!

baherus [9]

Answer:

$4 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 32 as the product of 16 and 2:

$\implies \sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16 \cdot 2$

Apply exponent rule $\sqrt{a \cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}$

$\implies \sqrt{16 \cdot 2}=\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}$

Rewrite 16 as 4²:

$\implies \sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}$

Apply exponent rule $\sqrt{a^2}=a$

$\implies \sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}=4 \sqrt{2}$

Describe and correct the error(s) made in each of the problems below.

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations </u>

It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them

When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different

The first expression is

$1-x / (5-x)(-x)=x-1 / x(x-5)$

Let's arrange into format:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

$\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{(5-x)(-x)} =-\frac{x-1 }{ x(x-5)}$

Now for the second expression

$5/s+2/5=2/s$

Let's arrange into format

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}+\frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{s}\times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{s}$
