Anna lives 0.8 miles from the mall. Which fraction is equivalent to 0.8
2 answers:
Answer: 4/5
Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that 0.8 means eight-tenths which can be written as the fraction 8/10. Since 8/10 is not in lowest terms, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 8 and 10 which is 2 to get 4/5.
Therefore, 0.8 can be written as the fraction 4/5.

So, notice, the focus point is at -7, 5, and the directrix is at y = -11.
keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, and the distance from the vertex to either one of them is "p" units, check the picture below.
with that focus point and that directrix, the half-way over the axis of symmetry will be -7, -3, that's where the vertex is at, and notice the distance "p", is 8 units.
since the parabola is opening upwards, "p" is positive 8.
