Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark simplified 3/5 + 5/8 using the steps below:

Step 1: 3/5 * 8/5

Step 2: 3 * 8 / 5 * 5

Step 3: 24/5

Step 4: 4 4/5

Mark's error is in Step 1 where he changed the addition sign to multiplication sign.

The correct solution is:

Step 1: \dfrac{3}{5}+ \dfrac{5}{8}\\Step 2:  \dfrac{24+25}{40}\\Step 3:  \dfrac{49}{40}\\Step 4: 1\dfrac{9}{40}

Create three fractions whose product is -5/24. You may only use fractions between -8/9 to 8/9 and you can only use a fraction on
damaskus [11]

Answer:

We find 3/4-5/24 = 0.54166666666 and try 2/7 x 6/8 = 0.21428571428

this is 0.069 too much we look at this as a fraction = 0.07 which is 1/10 approx of the 6/8. we then reapply 7/9 x 2/7 x 3/3 = 0.2

So we went up by 1 and can show another

2/7 x 7/10 = 2.0

So to 1dp there is lots of fractions including 2/7 x 7/9 = 2.0

But for three fractions that multiply together we can chose 5/7 x 2/6 x 6/6 = 2.0  As 5 x 2 x 6 = 60 and 60/360-102 = 60/258 = 0.20 and divided 198 =numbers 8 and 1/3 work with = 1.98/8.3 = 2.38554

We try again 1.68/8.3 = -0.2024 = 2/8 x 8/10 = 0.2

The balance is 1.3/2 x 0.8/2 = 0.65 x 0.333 = 13/20 x 1/3

3/5 x 1/3 = 0.2

If 5% of an amount equals 800,000, then what is that amount? Please I confused, can someone help me!
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

the amount is 16,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

first let that amount be Y for an example. so...

\frac{5}{100}*Y=800,000

\frac{5Y}{100}=800,000

5Y=800,000*100

5Y=80,000,000  (then you both divide by 5 in both sides so that Y is left alone.)

So      Y=16,000,000

so the amount you are looking for is 16,000,000

Use expressions for odd integers to confirm the conjecture that the product for two odd integers is an odd integer.
nata0808 [166]
2n + 1  et 2n + 3 are two odd integers with n integer
(2n+1)(2n+3) = 4n² + 8n + 3 =2(4n² + 4n) + 3 
2(4n² + 4n) is an even integer so 2(4n² + 4n) + 3 is an odd number 
because the sum of an even number and an odd number is an odd number.
