Write a fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8

You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.

If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.

.Bryan was given the equation y= -5x+3. He says the rate of change is 3 and the initial value is -5. Is Bryan correct? If not, c
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Correct rate of change is -5; correct initial value is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the coefficient of the x term, which here is -5.  So Bryan has the rate of change wrong.

The initial value of the function is found by letting x  =  0.  Here, we get

y = -5(0) + 3, or y = b = 3.  The initial value is 3, not -5.

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) MD=9\ units

Part 2) DC=12\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

so

In this problem

MD=ME=MF ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

MF=9\ units

therefore

ME=9\ units

MD=9\ units

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

MD=9\ units

MC=15\ units

substitute

15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}

DC^{2}=225-81

DC=\sqrt{144}\ units

DC=12\ units
