<h2>Answer:</h2>

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FractionToDecimal {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       System.out.println("Please enter the numerator");

       double numerator = input.nextDouble();

       System.out.println("Please enter the denominator");

       double denominator = input.nextDouble();

       

       if(denominator == 0){

           System.err.println("ERROR - Cannot divide by zero.");

       }

       else {

           System.out.println("The result is " + (numerator/denominator));

       }

       

   }

   

}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

// import the Scanner class to allow for user input

import java.util.Scanner;

// 1. Declare a class

public class FractionToDecimal {

   // 2. Write the main method

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       

       // 3. Create an object of the Scanner class called <em>input</em>

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       // 4. Prompt the user to supply the numerator

       System.out.println("Please enter the numerator");

       

       // 5. Declare and initialize a variable <em>numerator </em>to hold the numerator

       // supplied by the user.

       // The numerator is of type double since the program does not

       // specify any. With a double both integer and floating point numbers

       // will be supported.

       double numerator = input.nextDouble();

       

       // 6. Prompt the user to enter the denominator

       System.out.println("Please enter the denominator");

       // 7. Declare and initialize a variable <em>denominator </em>to hold the

       // denominator supplied by the user.

       // The denominator is also of type double since the program does not

       // specify any. With a double, both integer and floating point numbers

       // will be supported.

       double denominator = input.nextDouble();

       // 8. Check if the denominator is or is not zero.

       // if it is zero, display an error message        

       if(denominator == 0){

           System.err.println("ERROR - Cannot divide by zero.");

       }

       // if it is not zero, then print out the result of the division

       else {

           System.out.println("The result is " + (numerator/denominator));

       }

       

   }                       // end of main method

   

}                            // end of class declaration

Please Note:

The code above has been written in Java.

The explanation segment contains comments to explain every line of the code.

But a few things are still worth noting;

i. Dividing the numerator by the denominator will convert a fraction to decimal.

ii. The object of the Scanner class <em>input </em> is used to get the inputs (numerator and denominator) from the user. Since the inputs are going to be integers or doubles, the nextDouble() method of the the Scanner class is used.

iii. If the denominator is zero, an error message will be displayed. I have used the System.err.println() method for that rather than the regular System.out.println() method. The difference is that the former will print out the error text in red color.

iv. Notice also that the else statement in the code will perform the division and also print out the result of the division along side with some text.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

A physical cpu core without hyper-threading enabled can process two instructions at the same time.
diamong [38]

A physical CPU core without hyper-threading enabled can process two instructions at the same time is a false statement.

<h3>Can a CPU do multiple things at once?</h3>

Computers are those that do only one task (or process) at a single time. But a computer can alter tasks very fast and can do a lot of work.

The Central processing unit is known to be the brain of the computer system and without it, the computer cannot function or be turn on.

Hence, A physical CPU core without hyper-threading enabled can process two instructions at the same time is a false statement.

The length, height, and width of a cube are 10, 7, and 5 cm respectively. Write a program that calculates the volume, perimeter,
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

// code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// main function

int main()

{

   // variables

   int length=10,height=7,width=5;

   // find the volume of

   int vol=length*height*width;

   // find the surface area

   int sa=2*(length*width+length*height+height*width);

   // find the perimeter

   int peri=4*(length+width+height);

   // print the volume

   cout<<"Volume is: "<<vol<<" cm^3."<<endl;

   // print the surface area

   cout<<"Surface area is: "<<sa<<" cm^2."<<endl;

   // print the perimeter

   cout<<"Perimeter is: "<<peri<<" cm."<<endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

Declare and initialize length=10, width=5 and height=7.calculate volume by multiply length, width and height and assign to variable "vol".Then find the surface area as 2*(length*width+length*height+height*width) and assign it to variable "sa".Then find the perimeter as 4*(length+width+height) and assign to variable "peri". Print the volume, perimeter and surface area.

Output:

Volume is: 350 cm^3.

Surface area is: 310 cm^2.

Perimeter is: 88 cm.
