A proper fraction is converted to a decimal equivalent by dividing the denominator into the numerator. True

kondaur [170]

False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.

For example, to evaluate $\frac{8}{15}$ you divide 8 by 15:

$\dfrac{8}{15} = 8\div 15 = 0.5\overline{3}$

What properties can be used to solve 7y-15=-29. Identity property of multiplication,addition property of equality ,distributive

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Addition Property of Equality.

Inverse property of multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$7y-15=-29$

First of all, let us use Addition Property of Equality.

According to the property, if we add a number on both sides of an equality, there is no change in the equality.

In other words, the equality will be same if we add the same number on Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side of the equality.

First of all, let us add 15 on both sides of the equality:

$7y-15+15=-29+15\\\Rightarrow 7y=-14$

Now, let us Inverse property of multiplication.

i.e. Multiplication of a number with its inverse is equal to 1.

$a\times \frac{1}{a} = 1$

So, let us multiply the given equation with $\frac{1}7$

$7y \times \dfrac{1}{7}=-14 \times \dfrac{1}{7}\\\Rightarrow 1y =-2\\\Rightarrow y=-2$

The properties used are:

Addition Property of Equality.

Inverse property of multiplication.

Suppose 300 nursing students took a certification test that is worth 100 points.

Alja [10]

Answer:

225 students scored 65 or better and 75 students scored 88 or better.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The five-number summary for the scores of 300 nursing students are given :

Minimum = 40

$Q_1 = 65$

Median = 82

$Q_3 = 88$

Maximum = 100

$Q_1$ is the first quartile and is the median of the lower half of the data set. 25% of the numbers in the data set lie below $Q_1$ and about 75% lie above $Q_1$ .

$Q_3$ is the third quartile and is the median of the upper half of the data set. 75% of the numbers in the data set lie below $Q_3$ and about 25% lie above $Q_3$
