Answer:

Dont think eh multiplied both sides by 4. That would be the first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(x+12)=2

multiply both sides by 4

x+12=8

move the 8 to the right side of the equation and change its sign

x=8-12

calculate

x= -4

Mike and Beth both write the decimal 0.8 (0.88888...)as a fraction. Mike: 45 Beth: 89 Which student wrote the correct fraction?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

0.888...

This is a <u>repeating decimal</u> (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)

Convert to fraction number

Let

x=0.888...

10x=8.888...

Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal

10x-x=8.888...-0.888...

9x=8

Solve for x

x=8/9

therefore

Mike fraction is incorrect

because 4/5=0.8

0.8 is a <u>terminating decimal </u>(It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)

Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal

Beth is correct

because

If you divide 8/9

the result is 0.8888888...

Answer: 1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:

a10^{b}

Where is a is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.

2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.

3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.

4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:

1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

One ticket equals $169

Step-by-step explanation:

The family buys 4 airline tickets online.

The travel insurance costs $19 per ticket.

The total cost is $752.

A.

An equation that models this problem could be

Basically, we know that the insurance costs $19 which represents an additional costs after the price per ticket, that's why we need to add them. Then, we know that the familiy bought 4 tickes, that's why we multiply by 4, and finally, the total cost must be equal to 752, according to the problem.

B.

To find the price of one ticket, we just need to solve the equation for

Therefore, one ticket costs $169.
