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.

Because u have to focus on that last number if the last number is greater or less thats the answer

What happens to the sign or signs of the coordinates when you reflect a point?

elena55 [62]

Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Explanation:

Part a: Reflecting a point across the x-axis

The reflection is a transformation of a figure which represents a flip.

The rule for a reflection over the x -axis is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(x,-y)$

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the y-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the x-axis, changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

Part b: Reflecting a point across the y-axis

The rule for a reflection over the y -axis is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, y)$

Hence, this represents the change of sign of the x-coordinate.

Thus, Reflecting a point across the y-axis, changes the sign of the x-coordinate.

Part c: Reflecting a point across both the axes

The rule for a reflection across both the axes is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(-x, -y)$

Hence, this represents the changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Thus, Reflecting a point across both the axes, changes the signs of both the coordinates.

Question attached plz answer

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x = - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sketch represents

y = x² + bx + c

The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14

y = x² + bx - 14

Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then

0 = 2² + 2b - 14

0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = 5

y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph

let y = 0 , then

x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus

the x- coordinate of the turning point is $\frac{-7+2}{2}$ = $\frac{-5}{2}$ = - 2.5

3 tins of beans and 4 tins of tomatoes cost 2.73. 5 tins of beans cost 1.55. how much is one tin of tomatoes?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

1 tin of beans-> $1.55÷3=$0.31

3 tins of beans-> $0.31×3=$0.93

4 tins of tomatoes-> $2.73-$0.93=$1.80

1 tin of tomatoes->$1.80÷4=$0.45

A local pizzeria offers 15 toppings for their pizzas and you can choose any 3 of them for one fixed price. How many different ty

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

455 or 680, depending

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the three choices are different, then there are ...

15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to make the pizza.

___

If two or three of the topping choices can be the same, then there are an additional ...

2(15C2) +15C1 = 2·105 +15 = 225

ways to make the pizza, for a total of ...

455 + 225 = 680

different types of pizza.

There is a factor of 2 attached to the number of choices of 2 toppings, because you can have double anchovies and tomato, or double tomato and anchovies, for example, when your choice of two toppings is anchovies and tomato.

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
