Answer:

No

If the fraction is an improper fraction, the product would be higher

if the numerator of the fraction is smaller than the denominator, the product would be lower

2 x 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

2 x 4/3 = 8/3 = 2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

an improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator

The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below

an example of a fraction = \frac{4}{5}  

4 is the numerator while 5 is the denominator

Plsss help no one answered the other times I put this question
svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) <em>The equation</em> (10s + 8w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories </em><em>Bridget </em><em>ate </em><em>on </em><em>Monday </em><em>and </em><em>the </em><em>equation</em> (20s + w) <em>represents </em><em>the </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>she </em><em>ate</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>next </em><em>day.</em>

<em>b)</em><em> </em><em>The </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>strawberry</em><em> </em><em>is </em>4 <em>and </em><em>the </em><em>number </em><em>of </em><em>calories </em><em>in </em><em>each </em><em>vanilla</em><em> </em><em>wafer</em><em> cookie</em><em> </em><em>is </em>19. The solution is s= 4 and w = 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A, Bridget ate 10 strawberries and 8 vanilla wafer cookies on Monday. Since the the number of calories in a strawberry is <em>s</em> and the number of calories in a vanilla wafer cookie is <em>w </em>, the number of calories Bridget ate on Monday is <em>10s + 8w</em><em>.</em><em> </em>The next day, Bridget ate 20 strawberries and 1 vanilla wafer cookie. Hence, the number of calories Bridget ate on the next day is 20s<em> + w</em>.

For part B,

we will create two different simultaneous equations.

Equation 1: 10s + 8w = 192

Equation 2: 20s + w = 99

We need to find one of the terms first to solve the other term. For this case, I will solve for w first.

Multiply the first equation by 2.

Equation 3: 20s + 16w = 192*2 = 384.

Now, subtract equation 2 from this new equation.

Equation 4:

(20s + 16w) - (20s + w) = 384 - 99

20s + 16w - 20s - w = 285

15w = 285

This leaves only w left and we can solve w.

w = 285 / 15 = 19

Now, we can solve for s using equation 2.

20s + 19 = 99

20s = 99-19 = 80

Hence,

s = 80/20 = 4

BASKETBALL After Game 1, Felicia had scored 14 points. After Game 5, she had scored a total of 82 points for the season. After G
Stella [2.4K]

Let  p represents the number of points scored in n number of games.

So, the graph, the number of games, n is on the horizontal axis and the points scored, p, is on the vertical axis.

After Game 1, the point scored is 14,

so, the first point, P_1, on the graph is

P_1=(1,14)

After Game 5, the point scored is 82,

so, the second point, P_2, on the graph is

P_2=(5,82).

After Game 10, the point scored is 129,

so, the second point, P_2, on the graph is

P_2=(10,129)

First, represent all the three points, P_1, P_2 and P_3, on the graph, then connect P_1- P_2 and P_2 - P_3 as shown in the figure.

Luca pays $165 per month for his car loan and an average of $2.30 per gallon of gas. He wants to keep his car expenses under $30
KiRa [710]

Answer:

58.69 gallons is the maximum she can get.

Step-by-step explanation:

165 + 2.3g ≤ 300

subtract 165 from both sides

2.3g ≤ 135

divide by 2.3 on both sides

g ≤ 58.6956521739
