How do you identify the necessary information that is missing from a problem?

Mathematics

alexdok [17]3 years ago

Answer:

  It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

Identifying what is <em>not there</em> is always difficult. In the general case, the range of possibilities is infinite.

For relatively simple math problems, the problem statement usually gives a context and asks a question. The context will generally tell you the nature of the relationships that apply. The question will generally be answered by making use of the relationships to relate given information to requested information.

If a relationship involves 4 items, one is "unknown" (that you're asked to find), and only 2 are given, then you know the missing information is the remaining item in the relationship.

Often, you can work a problem a number of ways, so the information that is missing depends on the method you choose for working the problem.

___

In complicated multi-step problems, relationships may need to be developed, theorems proved, massive amounts of data examined, and more. In some cases, whole new areas of mathematics may need to be invented.

What happens to the value of the expression as 50/p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is in the denominator. This means that p and the value of the expression 50/p are inverse proportional. So for a big value of p, 50/p has a small positive value. For a small value of p, 50/p has a high positive value.

what happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

For example

50/1000 = 0.05

50/1 = 50

In one week, Alex worked 35 hours at $ 12.50 per hour plus 5 hours overtime at 'time and half'. How much would Alex have earned
zvonat [6]
Find out how much Alex earned in 35 hours first.

1 hour = $12.50

35 hours = $12.50 x 35 = $437.50

Since ‘time and a half’ pays 1.5 times more than their usual pay, find out how much Alex earned per hour at ‘time and a half’

1 hour = 12.50 x 1.5 = $18.75

5 hours = 18.75 x 5 = $93.75

$437.50 + $93.75 = $531.25

Alex would have earned $531.25 for the week.
