What is 7/12- blank =1/6

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book each day if she had a total of 8/9 of her book after

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book every day and you want to know the fraction of the book she read each day. Knowing that Rena had a total of 8/9 of her book read after 6 days, then you simply divide the total amount of the book read during those days by 6, the number of days:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you must convert the whole number into a fraction, finding the reciprocal of that fraction, and multiply it by the first fraction. That is, you must find the reciprocal of the number that is after the division symbol; and then you multiply the first number (the one before the division symbol) by the reciprocal of the second number (the one after the division symbol). Remember that to find the reciprocal of a number, you simply have to change the numerator and denominator of the number.

Since 6 can be considered to be a fraction equal to $\frac{6}{1}$ , by inverting the number, then you get $\frac{1}{6}$

Then:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}$

Now you multiply the numerators and denominators of the fraction to get the new numerator and denominator of the final solution.

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}$

Finally, simplifying the fraction:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}=\frac{4}{27}$

So:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{4}{27}$

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

Consider the region bounded by 4y=x^2 and 2y=x.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

a) ⅓ units²

b) 4/15 pi units³

c) 2/3 pi units³

Step-by-step explanation:

4y = x²

2y = x

4y = (2y)²

4y = 4y²

4y² - 4y = 0

y(y-1) = 0

y = 0, 1

x = 0, 2

Area

Integrate: x²/4 - x/2

From 0 to 2

(x³/12 - x²/4)

(8/12 - 4/4) - 0

= -⅓

Area = ⅓

Volume:

Squares and then integrate

Integrate: [x²/4]² - [x/2]²

Integrate: x⁴/16 - x²/4

x⁵/80 - x³/12

Limits 0 to 2

(2⁵/80 - 2³/12) - 0

-4/15

Volume = 4/15 pi

About the x-axis

x² = 4y

x² = 4y²

Integrate the difference

Integrate: 4y² - 4y

4y³/3 - 2y²

Limits 0 to 1

(4/3 - 2) - 0

-2/3

Volume = ⅔ pi

I have 10 goats, n of which are male. I need to choose 2 of them to make a casserole.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: There are 4 male goats.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that n of the 10 goats are male.

The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)

The probability is;

p = n/10

Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1

then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:

q = (n-1)/9

The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is

P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)

And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15

Then we have:

(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15

(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15

n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12

n^2 - n = 12

n^2 - n - 12 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:

For an equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

The two solutions are given by:

$x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}$

For our case, the solutions will be:

$n = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1 } = \frac{1+- 7}{2}$

The two solutions are:

n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3 (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)

The other solution is:

n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4

This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.
