What's the difference between 1261⁄4 and 78 2⁄3?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>So we want to know the difference between a= 126 1/4 and b= 78 2/3. Lets turn them into a fraction: a = 124*4 + 1/4 = 496/4 + 1/4 = 495/4. b= 78*3 + 2/3 = 234/3 + 2/3 = 236/3. Now we find the common denominator of a and b: and that is 12. so lets multiply a by 3/3 and b by 4/4: (495/4)*(3/3)=1485/12. (236/3)*(4/4)=944/12. Now the difference is: 1485/12 - 944/12=541/12 and that is: 45 1/12 </span>

9. Which point of view is most likely to be uni eliable in a story?

QveST [7]

This question includes some misspelled words; here is the correct question:

Which point of view is most likely to be unreliable in a story?

All points of view in a story are equally reliable.

The first person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

All points of view in a story are equally unreliable.

The third-person point of view is most likely to be unreliable.

The correct answer is The first-person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

Explanation:

In a narrative text, an unreliable narrator implies the narrator lies on purpose to the reader, or his/her version of the story is not completely accurate. This feature of narration occurs mainly if the story, novel, etc. includes a first-person narrator. This is because in a first-person narrator, the thoughts, feelings, and point of view of one of the characters prevail, and this causes the events told are subjective and therefore more likely to be inaccurate. Also, this does not occur if there is a third-person narrator because in this case the narrator acts as an observer and this makes it more objective.

During which time period does Landon's elevation change the fastest? Explain how you know?

bogdanovich [222]

<h3>1. How many inches per minute does London's elevation change between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. </h3>

The question actually asks for the slope of the line that stands for the points $(4,3) \ and \ (8,6)$ why? because the questions tells us that London's elevation changes between 4 minutes and 8 minutes here. Hence, to find the slope of this line we have to use the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6)$

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{6-3}{8-4}=0.75in/min$

<em>So London's elevation changes 0.75 inches per minute</em>

<h3>2. During which time period does London's elevation change the fastest?</h3>

The greater the absolute value of the slope of the line the faster London's elevation changes. Since this is a Piecewise function, we must analyze each period.

FIRST:

→ Between 0 minutes and 4 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 10 minutes and 14 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 18 minutes and 22 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

So the solution is not in these parts of the function.

SECOND:

→ Between 4 minutes and 10 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

In the previous item we calculated the slope between 4 and 8 minutes that is the same slope between 4 and 8 minutes and equals 0.75.

→ Between 14 minutes and 18 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

Let's take two points here, say, $(16,5) \ and \ (18,3)$

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(16,5) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(18,3) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{3-5}{18-16}=-1 in/min$

As you can see, the absolute value here is 1 that is greater than 0.75.

<em>In conclusion, London's elevation changes the fastest between 14 and 18 minutes</em>

Calculate the Zscore of $80

gayaneshka [121]

The Z-score (z) is calculated according to the formula: z = (x - μ) / σ

Where: x is the raw score value, μ is the mean of the population, σ is the standard deviation of the population.

x = 80, μ = 5, σ = 4

z = (80 - 5) / 4

z = 75 / 4 = 18.7500

Z-score is 18.7500

Julie says I added three odd numbers and my answer was 50 explain why Julie cannot be correct

ANTONII [103]

Julie cannot be right. That's because if you add three odd numbers together, <em>you always get an odd number. </em>The number 50 is an Even number.

Let's try adding 3 odd numbers together a couple of times...
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
5 + 1 + 5 = 11
7 + 3 + 5 = 15
We tried 3 examples, we could not get any even number. So, Julie's claim is wrong.
