Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8 but less than 1/3

2 answers:

8 0

You can read fractions as one number divided by another. So 1/6 is equivalent to 1 divided by 6. It is then selfevident that the larger the denominator the smaller the number. If you have one cake and divide it between 3, 6 or eight people, three people will get a larger slice than 6 people sharing the same cake. And 6 people will get a larger slice than 8 people dividing the same cake.

Question 10 of 21

PSYCHO15rus [73]

<u>ANSWER</u>

A. (4,12)

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The equations are:

$10x +2y = 64...(1)$

and

$3x - 4y = -36...(2)$

To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.

It is easier to eliminate x.

We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

$20x + 4y = 128...(3)$

We add equations (2) and (3).

$3x + 20x + 4y - 4y = - 36 + 128$

$23x = 92$

Divide both sides by 23

$\frac{23x}{23} = \frac{92}{23}$

$x = 4$

Put x=4 into equation (1).

$10(4)+2y = 64$

$40+2y = 64$

$2y = 64 - 40$

$2y = 24$

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{24}{2}$

$y = 12$

The solution is (4,12)

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set. The total amount of credit cards opened at the two locations is given as 45+3t.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

Given that the number of credit cards, A, that is opened t months since January can be modeled by the function A(t) = 20 + 4t, while the number of credit cards opened at another location, B, is defined by the function B(t)=25−t.

Now, the total number of credit cards that are opened at both the location together will be,

Total number of credit cards = A(t) + B(t)

= 20 + 4t + 25 - t

= 20 + 25 + 4t - t

= 45 + 3t

Hence, the total amount of credit cards opened at the two locations is given as 45+3t.
