Answer:

B) -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If [x/2]=0 then x/2 is a number such that the least integer greater than or equal to x/2 is 0. We can rewrite this as the inequality x/2≤0. Then, the value of x in C, D and E is wrong because they are positive numbers, then x/2 would be a positive number which contradicts this inequality.

Now, 0 is the least integer that satisfies this inequality, therefore we cannot have that x/2≤-1 since -1 is an integer and -1<0. Then x/2>-1. This discards A as wrong, because for x=-2, x/2=-1, contrary to x/2>-1.

Thus B is the right answer. To verify, if x=-3/2, then x/2=-3/4 and we have that -1<-3/4≤0 as required.

Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms. 4\dfrac{2}{3} \div 7 =4 3 2 ​ ÷7=4, start fraction, 2, divided by, 3, end fraction,
velikii [3]

Answer:

\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quotient: 4\dfrac{2}{3} \div 7

Step 1: Write 4\dfrac{2}{3} in improper fraction.

4\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{14}{3}

Therefore:

4\dfrac{2}{3} \div 7=\dfrac{14}{3} \div 7

<u>Step 2:</u> Change the division sign to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of 7

\dfrac{14}{3} \div 7 =\dfrac{14}{3} X\dfrac{1}{7} \\$Simplify\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}

Round 128.59943 to 3 decimal places
Bond [772]
To 3 decimal places.

128.59943

Count three places to the right after the decimal point. The third digit is 9, and the fourth is 4. Since the 4th is not up to 5, we leave the 9 that way and so we can not round up the 9 to 10.

So it becomes = 128.599

Thanks.
