Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of these three fractions is easier if you convert them so that all have the same denominator.

"Closer to 1/2 than to 1" implies that the fraction chosen lies between 1/2 and 3/4, that is, between 0.500 and 0.750.

7/8 = 0.875 must be rejected.  It does not satisfy this criterion.  0.875 is NOT closer to 1/2 than it is to 1.

10/12 = 0.833 must be rejected for the same reason.

12/14 = 6/7 must be rejected for the same reason

7/10 = 0.700 satisfies the criterion (it lies closer to 1/2 than it does to 1).

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

y=10

4 SX +20 Y= 822

Elimination

X - 10 -4

UX - 822-20Y

6.5

10 -4 = 822-201

45

- 4.5 = 822 - 204

What is 60% of $49000?
katen-ka-za [31]

Suppose you have a Kohls coupon of $49000 and you want to know how much you will save for an item if the discount is 60 percent.

Solution:

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 49000 x 60 / 100  

Amount Saved = 2940000 / 100  

Amount Saved = $29400 (answer).

In other words, a 60% discount for a item with original price of $49000 is equal to $29400 (Amount Saved).

Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.

Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. (x + 5)(x +3)=(x+5)(x+3)
sattari [20]

Answer:

∴(x+5)(x+3) =x²+8x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a polynomial:

Standard of polynomial means that the terms ordered from biggest exponent of variable to lowest exponent of variable.

Example:

a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+......

Given,

(x+5)(x+3)

=x(x+3)+5(x+3)

=x²+3x+5x+15

=x²+8x+15

∴(x+5)(x+3) =x²+8x+15

The degree of the polynomial is 2 and is a one variable polynomial.
