Convert fraction to a decimal 3/8

5 0

In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, you can do one of two ways. I'll do the manual way, first since that's probably what your teacher would prefer.

First, find something that will multiply in the denominator that will equal 10,100,1000.

In this case, it will be 1,000.

1,000 ÷ 8 = 125.

So, you will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 125.

3 x 1,000 = 375

8 x 125 = 1,000

Now, you have a BIG fraction of 375/1,000 but it's OKAY! Why? You're almost done.

Take your numerator of 375. Since your denominator has 3 zeros in it, you'll be moving your decimal 3 places to the right (from the imaginary decimal in front of the 3). So, we'll have 0.375.

So, your decimal of 3/8 is 0.375.

Now, for the easiest way!

You will simply divide 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Which graph is a translation of f(x) = x2 , according the rule:

bixtya [17]

For this case we have the following original function:
$f (x) = x ^ 2
$
We apply the following transformation:
Vertical displacements:
Assume k> 0
To graph f (x) - k, move the graph k units down.
Applying the transformation for k = 5 we have:
$y = x ^ 2 - 5
$
Therefore, the graph moves 5 units down.
Answer:
Third graph

Two line with the same slope are parallel, if two parallel lines have a different y-intercept they will never cross each other.

(Any two lines with different slopes will always intersect at some point)

A number d minus is less than -1

katrin [286]

$\boxed{d-4$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Recall you need to write complete questions in order to find exact answers. So in this problem I'll assume the question is:

<em>A number d minus 4 is less than -1</em>

<em />

So it is easy to know that we need to write an inequality here because of the words "less than", which implies that we must use the symbol <. So let's solve this step by step.

Step 1. A number d minus 4.

This statement includes the word "minus", so we need to use the symbol (-). Therefore:

$d-4$
