Answer:

1/6 serving

Step-by-step explanation:

1 SERVING = 3/2 OUNCES

x = 1/4 OUNCES

CROSS MULTIPLY.

1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces) = x * 3/2 (ounces)

REARRANGE, THEN DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 3/2 OUNCES TO MAKE x THE SUBJECT.

x * 3/2 (ounces) = 1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces)

[x * 3/2 (ounces)] / 3/2 OUNCES = [1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces)] / 3/2 OUNCES

x = (1/4) / (3/2) SERVING

x = 1/4 * 2/3 (serving)

x = 1/2 * 1/3 (serving)

x = 1/6 serving

Let A = {the Rationals) and B = {the Irrationals). Find AU B.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

A = {The Rationals}

B = {The Irrationals}

We need to find the set A∪B.

If we have two sets X and Y then union of these sets (X∪Y) contains all the elements of set X, of set Y or both.

It is given that A is the set of rations and B is the set of irrational, so the union A∪B is the combined set of all rational or irrational numbers.

A∪B = {The Rationals} + {The Irrationals}

A∪B = {The Reals}

Therefore, the correct option is B.

How do you distinguish between multiples and factors of a number, and justify your evaluation of the LCM & GCF of a set of n

Reil [10]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

- Multiples of a number are the numbers after multiplying the number

by an integer

- Ex: The multiples of 2 are 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , .......... because 2 × 1 = 2 ,

2 × 4 = 4 , 2 × 3 = 6 and 2 × 4 = 8

- Factors of a number are the number multiplied together to get the

number

- Ex: The factors of 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 because 1 × 6 = 6 and 2 × 3 = 6

- Lowest common multiple of the set of numbers (LCM) is the

smallest number divisible by these numbers

- Ex: The lowest common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6 because 6 is divisible

by 2 and 3 and there is no number before it divisible by both

- Greatest common factor of the set of numbers (GCF) is the highest

common factor of these numbers

- Ex: The greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6 because

→ The factors of 12 are 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 6, 12

→ The factors of 18 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 9 , 18

→ The greatest common factor on both numbers is 6
