Which is bigger 7/8 or 0.78

1 answer:

6 0

<span>7/8 = 7 * 1/8 and 1/8 = 1 : 8 = 0.125. After that: 7 * 0.125 = 0.875. Finally, 0.875 > 0.78. We can do it also by transforming 0.78 to fraction: 0.78 = 78/100 = 39/50 and then multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4: 39/50 = 156 / 200 . Then we will also multiply 7/8 * 25/25 = 175/ 200. Obviously: 175/200 > 156/200. Answer: 7/8 is bigger than 0.78. </span>

A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function $f(t)$ , $t$ is the independent variable. The domain of $f$ is the set of all values of $t$ that this function can accept.

In this case, $f(t)$ is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

$t \ge 0$ .
$f(t) \ge 0$ .

The first condition is an inequality about $t$ , which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about $f$ , the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about $t$ .

$\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}$ .
