Given:

The expression is \dfrac{7}{\frac{5}{8}}.

To find:

The shows the correct way to use the rule ""multiply by the reciprocal"" for the given expression.

Solution:

According to the rule "multiply by the reciprocal", if a,b,c,d are four number, then

\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}

We have,

\dfrac{7}{\frac{5}{8}}

It can be written as

\dfrac{7}{\frac{5}{8}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{1}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}

Using the rule "multiply by the reciprocal", we get

\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{1}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}=\dfrac{7}{1}\times \dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{1}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}=\dfrac{7\times 8}{1\times 5}

\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{1}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}=\dfrac{56}{5}

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Determine the future value of a $25000 investment at an annual rate of 4.85% compounded quarterly for 6 years.
Nutka1998 [239]
 = $ 32,275.00

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 4.85%/100 = 0.0485 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
24 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 6 years,
then, solving our equation

A = 25000(1 + (0.0485 × 6)) = 32275 
A = $ 32,275.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 25,000.00
at a rate of 4.85% per year
for 6 years (24 quarters) is $ 32,275.00.

Mrs. Lazo bought 9 1/8m. Of curtain cloth. She use 3 5/6m to make a curtain for their bedroom how many meters of cloth were not
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

5 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to make the denominators the same. When you multiply 6 with 4 you get 24, and if you multiply 8 with 3 you get 24. Then you have to multiply the numbers you multiplied with the denominators with the numerator. So, 5 x 4 is 20 and 3 x 1 is 3. Once you put all the numbers together it should look like this: 3 20/24 and 9 3/24. In order to find the answer, you have to subtract the numbers from each other. Which would look like this: 9 3/24 - 3 20/24. But as you can see you can't subtract 3 from 20. So you have to carry the 9. This means you have to subtract 9 from 1, and then you have 27 for the numerator, this then makes it possible to subtract from 20. So then the fractions subtracted from each other is 7 and the whole numbers subtracted from each other is 5 (because the 9 is now 8 since we subtracted one from it). Whole numbers subtracted from each other: 5. Fractions subtracted from each other: 7/24. Add it together you get 5 7/24.  

Numerator - the number above the fraction, ex 3 in 3/4

Denominator - the number below the fraction, ex 4 in 3/4

Prove that there exists a unique real number solution to the equation x3 + x2 − 1 = 0 between x = 2/3 and x=1
ziro4ka [17]
Replace each of the x values given to see if they give 0. 

0=(2/3)³+(2/3)²-1 
0=(8/27)+(4/9)-1 
0≠-0.259

0=(1)³+(1)²-1 
0≠1

Therefore, you can see that the solution would have to be between 2/3 and 1.

Hope I helped :)
