Of the 16 small intervals indicated from 0 to 1 inch, the ant spans 14 of them, so

\dfrac{14}{16} = \dfrac{7}{8} \textrm{ inches} = 0.875 \textrm{ in}

How is 7/8 equal to 0.875?

Since 125(8)=1000 and 125(7)=875 we know

\dfrac{7}{8} = \dfrac{7 \cdot 125}{8 \cdot 125} = \dfrac{875}{1000} = 0.875

Answer:

(0,1/5) and (1/9,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5x +1/3y=1/15

To find intercepts, plug in 0

y-intercept: 3/5(0) + 1/3y=1/15

y=1/15*3 = 3/15 = 1/5 or 0.2

x-intercept: 3/5x + 1/3(0) = 1/15

3x=1/15*5/3

x=5/45= 1/9

One number is 6 more than another. Twice the larger number is 5 times the smaller.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The smaller number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number = x

Smaller number = y

Write 2 equations

y + 6 = x

2x = 5y

Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation

2(y + 6) = 5y

Multiply 2(y + 6)

2y + 12 = 5y

Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation

12 = 3y

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

y = 4

x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The smaller number is 4

Hope this helps :)
