Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

Answer:

So the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graphs all show continuous data. (I'll attach an image to show which ones I'm talking about)

Explanation:

This is because with continuous data, all points need to connect and it needs to continue. The 4th graph (with just points) would be discrete.

I hope this helps!! :)

Sorry I took so long...

anastassius [24]

Answer:

A: 1/2 divided by 1 1/2 is 3. 1/2 divided by 1 is 2. 1/2 divided by 2 1/2 5.  Multiply those numbers and you get 15 which is how many can fit. B: Idk how to answer part B but you can have part A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length: 1 1/2. Width: 1. Height: 2 1/2. Volume: how much of ? can fit in a ?. To get the volume you multiply 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1. Make the mixed numbers into improper fractions: 3/2, 5/2, 2/2. Now multiply the numerators: 5 x 3 = 15x 2 = 30. Now in order to finish it you put 2 as the denominator. : 30/2 which as a whole number is 15. 15 cubes can fit.
