Answer:

To try to explain, I’m going to give you a new way to read fractions. For a/b, say “b of them make a”. For example, 1/3 is “3 of them make 1”, because 1/3+1/3+1/3=1. 2/7 is “7 of them make 2”, because 2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7=2. This works for whole numbers a and b.

You can change the numbers like so: “3 of them make 1” is the same as “6 of them make 2”, and so 1/3=2/6. Similarly “7 of them make 2” is the same as “14 of them make 4” so 2/7=4/14. “2 of them make 12” is the same as “1 of them makes 6”, so 12/2=6/1=6.

Now 1/0.1 is “0.1 of them make 1”. Whatever “they” are, you only need 0.1 of them to make 1, so “they” must be bigger than 1. How much bigger? Following the pattern, “0.1 of them make 1” is the same as “0.2 of them make 2”, “0.5 of them make 5”, and “1 of them makes 10”. So 1/0.1=10

Karolina [17]

Answer:

4,600

Step-by-step explanation:

92,000/8= 11500

11500 x 4= 46000 to his wife

11500 for the son

92000-57500= 34500

34500/5= 6,900 each charity

11500-6900= 4600 is how more he is getting than each charity

12345 [234]

Answer:

Point (2, 20) does not lie on the given curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see explanation:

$f(x) = 2. \: {5}^{x} \\ \\ \therefore \: f(x) \: at \: x = 2 \\ f(2) = 2. {5}^{2} = 2.25 = 50 \\ \\ hence \: at \: x = 2 \: \: f(x) = 50 \\ \therefore \:point (2 \: \: 20) \: does \: not \: lie \: on \: the \: \\ \: \: \: \: \: curve.$

Answer:

(0, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, a curved line with a minimum value of (0, negative 9) and maximum values of (negative 2.3, 16) and (2.3, 16), crosses the x-axis at (negative 3, 0), (negative 1, 0), (1, 0), and (3, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 9). Which is a y-intercept of the graphed function? (–9, 0) (–3, 0) (0, –9) (0, –3)

The y-intercept is the point where x = 0, and It says there that the graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -9)
