Answer:
(a) (-3/4, 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 grid lines between 0 and 1 in each direction, so each grid line represents 1/4 unit. Two of them is 1/2 unit; 3 of them is 3/4 unit. The x-dimension is listed first in the ordered pair.
Point S has coordinates (-3/4, 1/2).
Forget about the negative sign. First you have to find a least common denominator. This would be 63. Since we had to multiply 9 by 7 to get 63 we have to multiply the numerator (4) by 7. This gives us a new fraction of 36/63. Since we ha e to multiply 21 by 3 to get 63 we have to multiply 19 by 3. This gives us 57. So now we have 36/63 and 57/63. Then we add the negative sign back in making 57/63 -57/63. Now we add them together. Because one has a negative sign and one is positive the number has to be closer to zero. So the answer is -21/63.
If there were 1000 sheets of paper, then the thickness of each sheet would be 1.875 in divided by 1000.
1.875/1000 = 0.001875
Since there are 500 sheets of paper, each one is twice as thick as 0.001875, so each sheet is 0.00375 inches thick. 0.015 is much greater than 0.00375, so it must be incorrect.
