Answer:

Yes unless the fraction is equal to a whole number or is an improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal fraction like 2/4 is less than a whole number because a whole number is whole and a fraction is part of

Exceptions:

4/4 is a fraction but is also a whole number

any improper fraction ( a fraction not simplified)

5/4 it equals more than a whole number 1 1/4

So simplify the fraction and if it is equal to or more than a whole number you know, but if it is less than a whole number then you know it is less.

Hopefully this helped :)

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a part of a whole number, so yes a fraction is always less than a whole number, unless it's a mixed number. A mixed number is when there is a whole number before the fraction.

Need explanation 20 points The function f is such that f(x) = 2x - 6 Find f^-1(x)

Dvinal [7]

HEYA! <3

Explanation :

GIVEN :

f(x) = 2x - 6

TO FIND :

Inverse of f(x) i.e $f ^{ - 1} (x)$

SOLUTION :

FOLLOW THESE THREE STEPS :

LET Y = f(x)

$\longrightarrow \tt{y = 2x - 6}$

$\longrightarrow{ \tt{ \: 2x - 6 = y}}$

MAKE X A SINGLE TERM IN LHS SIDE

$\longrightarrow{ \tt{2x = y + 6}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \tt{x = \frac{y + 6}{2} }}$

INTERCHANGE THE VALUE OF X AND Y

$\longrightarrow{ \tt{y = \frac{x + 6}{2} }}$

Hence ,

$\boxed{ \boxed{ {f}^{ - 1} (x) = \sf{ \bold{ \frac{x + 6}{2} }}}}$

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful day / night !

A particular dishwasher uses 444 gallons of water per load. Their advertising claims that hand washing the dishes uses 666 times

balu736 [363]

Answer: 6.35444444×10^13 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So a dishwasher uses 444 gallons of water per load.

That means it'll use 444*215215215 = 95555555460 gallons of water for 215215215 loads

Since washing dishes by hand takes 666 as much as water in comparison to using a dishwasher, we can do 95555555460x666 to find that you need 6.36399999×10^13 gallons of water to wash 215215215 loads.

The question asks for how much more water in gallons you can save, so do 6.36399999×10^13 - 95555555460 to get 6.35444444×10^13 gallons

The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l). If one of the boxes has a volume of 288 cubic inches and a length of

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Varies directly means that something constant times l equals V or V=kl where k is that constant.

Plug in point given 288=k(12) and solve the constant of proportionality by dividing both sides by 12.

k=288/12=24
