Yea Any integer can be written as a fraction! Just put that integer as the numerator of a fraction with a denominator

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Any integer can be turned into a fraction.

For example, you have -2, to turn this integer into a fraction all you have to do is place -2 as a numerator and 1 as the denominator:

$-2 = \frac{-2}{1} = -\frac{2}{1}$

You can also change both values of the numerator and the denominator by multiplying the whole fraction by 2 only (to maintain the same value of -2):

$-\frac{2 * 2}{1 * 2}$ $= -\frac{4}{2}$ which means $-2 = -\frac{4}{2} = -\frac{8}{4} = -\frac{16}{8}$ ...and the pattern goes on.

Matter of fact, this method works with any integer not only the negatives.

The average age of all students at a certain college is 22 years and the standard deviation is 2 years. What is the probability

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The probability that the average age of a randomly selected sample of 100 students will be less than 21.8 years is 0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

mean = μ= 22

standard deviation = σ = 2

n = 100

μx = 22

σx=σ/√n=2/√100=0.2

Therefore, P( x < 21.8)=P(x-μx)/σx<(21.8-22)/0.2

=P(z<-1)

= 0.159

The probability that the average age of a randomly selected sample of 100 students will be less than 21.8 years is 0.159

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5

stich3 [128]

Question is ;

Complete question is;

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5 feet every 36 hours. Buffalo accumulates snow at a rate of 0.01 inches every minute.

Which city accumulates more snow in 3 days? How much more snow?

Answer:

- Boston accumulates more snow in 3 days.

- It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston accumulates 1.5 feet of snow every 36 hours.

Number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Thus, In 72 hours, Boston would have accumulated; (1.5 × 72)/36 = 3 feet of snow.

Now, Buffalo accumulates 0.01 inches of snow every minute.

In 3 days, number of minutes we have = 60 × 24 × 3 = 4320 minutes

Thus, total snow accumulated in 3 days = 0.01 × 4320/1 = 43.2 inches

Now, let's convert this to ft;

12 inches = 1ft

Thus; 43.2 inches = 43.2 × 1/12 = 3.6ft

Thus, Buffalo accumulates more snow in 3 days.

It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Solve the equation 4/8y=8/3 for y

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$y = \frac{16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for y, you need to isolate the y in the equation. Thus, to get rid of the $\frac{4}{8}$ multiplied by the y, multiply both sides by the reciprocal, $\frac{8}{4}$ . Then, reduce the fraction.
