Answer:

$\frac{4}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find :Which of the following is an example of a proper fraction?

Solution :

Definition :A fraction that is less than one, with the numerator less than the denominator.

A) $\frac{11}{10}$

Since numerator is greater than denominator

So, it is not a proper fraction

B) $\frac{6}{6}$

$=1$

So, it is not a proper fraction

C) $\frac{15}{2}$

Since numerator is greater than denominator

So, it is not a proper fraction

D) $\frac{4}{17}$

Since it is satisfying the definition of proper fraction

So, it is a proper fraction

Hence $\frac{4}{17}$ is a proper fraction

You can rule out A and C 6/6 makes 1 so that cancels so your answer is D

PLZ I REALLY NEED HELP Find the values of x and y in parallelogram PQRS

brilliants [131]

Answer:

x = 5 and y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

PT = x+2, TR=y, QT=2x, TS=y+3

We need to find the value of x and y.

The diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means,

PT = TR and QT = TS

ATQ,

y = x+2 ...(1)

and

y+3 = 2x ....(2)

Subtracting equation (1) and (2).

y-(y+3) = x+2-2x

y-y-3 = 2-x

-3 = 2-x

x = 2+3

x = 5

Put the value of x in equation (1).

y = 5 + 2

y = 7

Hence, the values of x and y are x = 5 and y = 7.

Solve the equation for y. <br>y-4=1/2(x-8)

Lostsunrise [7]

All that's necessary is to add 4 to both sides of the equation. This gives

... y = 1/2(x -8) +4

If you like, you can simplify this by eliminating the parentheses and collecting terms.

... y = 1/2·x -4 +4

... y = (1/2)x

One apple and three oranges cost $5.10 and another 5 oranges and one Apple cost $7.50 what is the price of one apple and one ora

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of one apple be x

and the price of one orange y

Hence ;

One apple and 3 oranges would cost:

x + 3×y = $5.10----------------------------(1)

One apple and 5 oranges would cost;

x + 5×y = $7.50--------------------------(2)

Subtracting eqn (1) from (2), we have :

x-x + 5y -3y = 7.5- 5.1

2y = 2.4

y = $1.2

From eqn(1)

x + 3y = $5.10

x= $5.10-3($1.2) = $5.10-$3.6 = $1.5

Hence x=$1.5 and y= $1.2

We are required to find the cost of one apple and one orange, hence :

x+y = $1.5+$1.2= $2.7
