4 = 2 * 2
Multiplying by 2 is the same a doubling.
Since 4 is 2 * 2, to multiply a number by 4, double the number twice.
Example:
What is 4 * 100?
Double 100 to get 200.
Double 200 to get 400.
Therefore, 4 * 100 = 400.
By doubling twice, we do the same as multiplying by 4.
20 minutes = 1/3 of an hour
1/3 = 0.333
1/3 x 45mph = 15, so she drove 15 miles at 45mph
18-15 = 3
3 miles/ 20 mph = 0.15 hours
0.333+0.15 = 0.483 hours total
0.483 x 60 = 28.98 so approximately 29 minutes total driving time
7:15 + 29 minutes is 7:44 am she arrived at work
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
That means 6/3 is equivalent to 2 wholes! When the numerator is divisible by the denominator, the fraction is equivalent a whole number. If the numerator is equal to the denominator, you will always have one whole, or 1.
The easiest terms to check are the first (8x)(2x²) = 16x³ and the last (-5)(-6) = 30. This check eliminates the first choice. The remaining choices differ only in the sign and coefficient of the squared term, so that is the one we need to find.
The squared term will be the sum of the products of factors whose degrees total 2:
(8x)(-5x) + (-5)(2x²) = -40x² -10x² = -50x²
The appropriate choice is
16x³ -50x² -23x +30
