Choose the best decimal equivalent to 5/8
vlada-n [284]

To convert this fraction to a decimal, just divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (8): 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. So,

5/8 = 0.625

Rounded values:

<span><span>5/8 = 1 rounded to the nearest integer</span><span>5/8 = 0.6 rounded to 1 decimal place</span><span>5/8 = 0.63 rounded to 2 decimal places</span></span>

Please help! A is not -3 as I’ve seen some answer with that.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

a) x = 5

b) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) \frac{3x+4}{2} = 9.5

  3x+4 = 9.5(2)

      3x = 19-4

        x = 15/3

         x = 5

b) \frac{7+2x}{3} = 5

  7+2x = 5(3)

      2x = 15-7

        x = 8/2

         x=4

Find the domain for each expression. (1/x)+5<br> 1/x<br> X+5/x+5<br> X^2/x<br> 7/(x-2)
wel

Using it's concept, it is found that the domain for the expressions is, respectively, given by:

x \neq 0, x \neq 0, (-\infty, \infty), (-\infty, \infty), x \neq 2

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

It is the <u>set that contains all possible input values</u>.

In a fraction, the denominator cannot be zero, hence:

  • The domain of the first two expressions is of x \neq 0.
  • The domain of the last expression is of x \neq 2.

The third expression can be simplified, as:

(x + 5)/(x + 5) = 1.

The same is true for the fourth, as:

x²/x = 1.

Neither has any restriction, hence their domain is all real numbers, represented by (-\infty, \infty).

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The 6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 84 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use combinations to solve this problem.

Combination is defined as the selection of <em>r</em> elements from <em>n</em> distinct objects irrespective of the order. The objects cannot be replaced.

There are 9 Lego kits available.

And the total number of children is 6.

That is, we need to select 6 Lego kits from the 9 available Lego kits.

6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 9\choose 6 ways.

Solving the combination as follows:

{9\choose 6}=\frac{9!}{6!\times(9-6)!} \\=\frac{362880}{720\times6}\\ =84

Thus, there are 84 ways to select 6 Lego kits from 9 available Lego kits.
