Answer: The line segment can be divided into 12 equal sections.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of equal sections that divide a directed line segment if it is to be partitioned with a 5 : 7 ratio.

We know that

if a line directed line segment is partitioned in the ratio a : b, then we can divide the line segment in (a + b) equal sections.

So, the number of equal sections in which the given line segment can be divided is given by

$N_s=5+7=12.$

Thus, the line segment can be divided into 12 equal sections.

Well you see partition means to separate or divide. A line segment with end points a and b can be partioneded by another point by a given ratio, and a ratio is a comparison of two numbers. For other ratios besides 1:1 , it is necessary to determine the total number of parts that the line segment must be divided into. So in your case the point is 5:7 so you to determine the point that divides your line segment you just simply add the figure 5 a and the figure 7 together and you should end up with the sum of 12.

A plot of 1/no2 versus time is linear. using this information, identify the factor by which the rate will increase in model (c)

WITCHER [35]

This is hard in mathematical language, but there is only this way to present it. Let us denote by A the consentration of the substance and by A' its rate.
We have that b/A= t+c where c is a constant.
Hence A=b/(c+t)
By differentiating, we get that A'=-b/(C+t)^2
Then, we have that -(A)^2=A'/b
Hence at any point, we have that if we make the concentration 17 times, we have that there is a 17 times bigger , the rate will become bigger by 17*17, hence 289 times faster.

JA manufacturer determines that the cost of making a computer component is $3.161616. Write the repeating decimal cost as a fra

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The repeating decimal cost

a) As a fraction = $ $\frac{3161616}{1000000}$

b) As a mixed number = $ $3\frac{161616}{1000000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of making a computer component

= $3.161616

= $ 3 + 0.161616

Looking at the repeating decimal it is in 6 decimal places, hence to convert it to a fraction,

0.161616/ 1000000 × 1000000

= 161616/1000000

Therefore, the cost of making the computer component =

$3 + $161616/1000000

Step 1

We convert to a fraction

$3 + $161616/1000000

We find the LCM = 1000000

($3 × 1000000)+ ($161616× 1)/1000000

3000000 + 161616/1000000

= $ (3161616/1000000)

As a Mixed number = $3\frac{161616}{1000000}$
