Answer:
5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42
Step-by-step explanation:
We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:
1/8.4 = 5/42
1/8.8 = 5/44
1/9.2 = 5/46
1/9.6 = 5/48
__
<em>Check</em>
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 5/42 ≈ 0.119
- 5/44 ≈ 0.114
- 5/46 ≈ 0.109
- 5/48 ≈ 0.104
- 1/10 = 0.100
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for this would be:
n+8=14, since we are adding 8 to a number and getting 14
To solve, isolate the variable n, by subtracting 8 from both sides
n+8=14
n+8-8=14-8
n=6
The number is 6
Answer:
Hey
Step-by-step explanation:
I bevlive your answer is B. If you multiply the two numbers you get 1.4
Answer:
D. 68%
Step-by-step explanation:
38/56 = 0.678
Move the decimal over 2 spots to get 67.8
Round that up to 68
Answer:
The top of the ladder is now at 10 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the start, we have a height H=6, a length L=10 and a base B, that has to be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem:
The base is moved twice the distance the height moves up.
We called this distance x, so we have:
The new height (H+x) is
The base travels 2x=8, so the new base B' is 0.
This means that the ladder is all against the wall (L=H').
