Answer:

3/2 or 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5÷3 1/3

5/1 ÷ 10/3 because you have to get it into an improper fraction form in order to divide

5/1 × 3/10 because you have to multiply the first number by the reciprocal

5 and 10 cancel out so you would have 2 at the bottom

3/2 or 1 1/2

katrin2010 [14]

A. total power usage PS4 in a week = 8.8 watts x 21 hrs/day x 7 days/week
= (1293.6 watt.hr/week) / (1 kW/1000w)
= 1.29 KW hr/ week
b. carbon emission = 2.1lb/KW
= 1.29 KW x 2.1lb/KW

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number

stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

$a^2 - 3a = 28$

$a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0$

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28$

$\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}$

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

Which of the following numbers is a rational but not a integer

Temka [501]

Rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into a fraction. They can be negative or positive.
Integers are whole numbers. They can be negative or positive.

Numbers such as 0.10 are rational because they can be turned into a fraction
0.10 = 1/10....and since it is not a whole number, it is not an integer.
