What is base in mathametics

1 answer:

6 0

The most common base used today is the decimal system which means 1 to 9.
The binary system is base two and it only uses the numbers 1 and 0. It does not go over 1. So base 5 is a number system that doesn’t go over four. It’s a little hard to understand until you do some questions relating to it.

Hi there!

To solve both of you questions, you will need to use the cross product method :

<u>Finding "x" :</u>

$\frac{2scoops}{1/2gallon} = \frac{4scoops}{xgallon}$

So you have to do :

(4 × $\frac{1}{2}$ ) ÷ 2 = x gallon

4 times $\frac{1}{2}$ is the same thing as 4 times 0.5, which equals 2.

2 ÷ 2 = x gallon

1 = x gallon

So the amout for x would be : 1 gallon

<u>Finding "y" :</u>

You could do the exact same method as we did for finding "x", but the easiest and fastest way to get our answer is just by multiplying the amout we got for "x" by 2 because we are putting 8 scoops instead of 4 for "x" (and 4 times 2 = 8) :

1 gallon × 2 = y

2 gallons = y

So your answer is : The amount for y would be : 2 gallons

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

What is the area of a trapezoid with coordinated (0.0), (1,3), (4,3), (2,0)? (no picture given)

Orlov [11]

The area of the trapezoid, to the nearest whole number is: D. 8 units²

<h3>What is the Area of a Trapezoid?</h3>

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(a + b)h, where:

h = height of trapezoid
a and b = lengths of the bases of the trapezoid.

Using the coordinates of the trapezoid, (0,0), (1,3), (4,3), (2,0), the points have been plotted on a coordinate plane as shown in the image attached below, and we have the following dimensions of the trapezoid:
