Answer:

Part A

The given numbers are 14.25 and 0.86

By multiplying the two numbers, we have;

14.25 × 0.86 = 12.255

By adding the two numbers, we have;

14.25 + 0.86 = 15.11

Therefore, addition gives the greatest solution because one of the number is a fraction less than one

Part B

By dividing the two numbers (Dividing the larger number, 14.25 by the smaller number 0.86), we have 14.25/0.86 ≈ 16.57

Therefore, dividing the larger number by the smaller fraction gives a solution larger than the solution found in part A because the larger number multiplied by (1 - the inverse smaller fraction number) is larger than the value of the smaller (fraction) number

The average price of a two-bedroom apartment in the uptown area of a prominent American city during the real estate boom from 19

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

p(t) = 0.19e0.10t

=>p'(t) = 0.19e0.10t (0.10*1)

=>p'(t) = 0.019e0.10t

t = 0 represents 1994

for 2002, t=2002-1994 =8

in 2002

average price =p(8)

=>average price = 0.19e0.10*8

=>average price =0.422853... million

rate of increase =p'(8)

=>rate of increase = 0.019e0.10*8

=>rate of increase =0.0422853... million per year

p(8)=$ 0.42 million

p'(8)=$ 0.042 million per year

a number line is divided into 8 equal parts to show eighths. A point is labeled 1/2. Name the equivalent fraction for the labele

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

4/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/8 is the correct answer for this question. This is why. If you take 8 and divide it in half, your answer will be 4. Also because fractions are division so the fraction 8/2 equals 4. This means the 1/2 mark is equal to 4.

The mean sat verbal score is 486, with a standard deviation of 95. use the empirical rule to determine what percent of the score

Pavel [41]

Find the z-scores for the two scores in the given interval.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For the score x =391, $z=\frac{391-486}{95}=\frac{-95}{95}=-1$ .

For the score x = 486, $z=\frac{486-486}{95}=0$

Now you want the area (proportion of data) under the normal distribution from z = -1 to z = 0. The Empirical Rule says that 68% of the data falls between z = -1 to z = 1. But the curve is symmetrical around the vertical axis at z = 0, so the answer you want is HALF of 68%.
