Answer:

NOT PROPORTIONAL

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two fractions are: $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{8}{10}$ .

Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.

Consider two fractions $\frac{p}{q}$ and $\frac{x}{y}$ .

We say they are proportional if $p : q = x : y$ .

Or, if $py = qx$ then we can say the fractions are proportional.

Here the fractions are: $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{8}{10}$ .

LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.

RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.

Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.

An ice cream cone has a height of 4 in and a radius of 1 in. If the cone is 0.1 in thick, what is the difference (in in3) betwee

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

$0.79 in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data for the cone

height h= 4 in

radius r= 1 in

hence diameter d= 2 in

thickness of cone= 0.1 in

The volume of the cone including the shell can be expressed as

$volume=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

$volume= \frac{1}{3}*3.142*1^2*4\\\volume= \frac{12.568}{3} \\\volume= 4.189 in^3$

The volume of the ice cream can be expressed as

N/B: the diameter of the ice cream is

2-(0.1*2)= 2-0.2= 1.8 in

hence the radius is 0.9 in

$volume= \frac{1}{3}*3.142*0.9^2*4\\\ volume= \frac{10.18}{3} \\\ volume= 3.39 in^3$

The difference in volume is $4.189-3.39= 0.79 in^3$

Hernando ate StartFraction 2 Over 8 EndFraction of a pizza for a dinner. He gave his 6 friends the rest of the pizza and told th

ozzi

Answer:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for dinner.

Let the pizza be x. Then:

Hernando ate $\dfrac{2}{8} \ \ o f \ \ x$

Then he gave the rest of the pizza to his friends

Hernando now carried out the following calculations to support his activities;

$\dfrac{6}{8} \div 6= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}$

$\dfrac{6}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{6}= \dfrac{6 \div 6}{8}= \dfrac{1}{8}$

From the above calculation; we will see that Hernando divided 6 by 6 in both cases to get $\dfrac{1}{8}$ .

Thus, the correct answer is:

Yes, they are correct. Hernando divided 6 by 6.

How can undefinable terms be used to create precise mathematical definitions?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

This is done by stating descriptions of these terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Undefinable terms are terms with no formal definitions. Formal definitions are obtained when specific words are used to define a term. In mathematics, specifically, Geometry words like line, point, and plane have no definite definition, So descriptions are used to identify them.

For example, in describing a point, we note that a point has no dimensions, it is usually denoted with a capital letter, and it indicates a position. Also in a coordinate plane, it is denoted with descriptions such as (u,v). Corresponding descriptions are given of other undefinable terms.

What can be used to determine the length of segment AB?

Vikki [24]

It depends on what you mean by "what can be used", you can use a protractor or ruler since it's a line segment. OR you can use the formula a^ + b^ = c^ to find out all the measurements.......

If you still can't find it, then, you can try to find the other measurements around that specific line segments. And it DEPENDS on what you choose to find the length of this segment.

( There's no picture on my screen, so I'm guessing that you didn't put any.. )

Well, I hope this can help you :3

STAY SAFE!! :)
