Explain why multiplying a fraction by 5/6 results in a value that is less than the original fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/6) itself is less than 1 (but greater than 0).  Thus, anything multiplied by (5/6) will result in a smaller-by-magnitude quantity.

For example, (5/6)(3/4) is LESS than 3/4 because 5/6 is greater than zero but less than 1.

6x + 2x - 9 = 7<br> Solve the equation and simplify the answer
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+2x-9=7

Combine like terms on each side of the equation

8x-9=7

Add 9 to each side

8x=16

Divide by 8 on each side

x=2

1. I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is 3 more than my
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1. 474

2. 397

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the three-digit number is xyz, then y = z + 3.

When rounded to the nearest ten and reduced by 320, the result is 150.  150 + 320 = 470, so x = 4.  y = 6 if z ≥ 5, and y = 7 if z < 5.

So the number is either 463 or 474.  463 doesn't round to 470, so the answer is 474.

2. If the three-digit number is xyz, then z = x + 4.  y is the largest of the three digits; since all the digits are odd, y is either 5, 7, or 9.  So z is either 5 or 7, and x is either 1 or 3.

When rounded to the nearest hundred and reduced by 100, the result is 300.  100 + 300 = 400, and y > 5, so xyz is rounded up to 400, which means x = 3.  So z = 7 and y = 9.

The answer is 397.

The temperature function (in degrees Fahrenheit) in a three dimensional space is given by T(x, y, z) = 3x + 6y - 6z + 1. A bee i
madam [21]

You're looking for the extreme values of T(x,y,z)=3x+6y-6z+1 subject to x^2+y^2+z^2=9. The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=3x+6y-6z+1+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-9)

with critical wherever the partial derivatives vanish:

L_x=3+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac3{2\lambda}

L_y=6+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac3\lambda

L_z=-6+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac3\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-9=0

Substituting the first three solutions into the last equation gives

\dfrac9{4\lambda^2}+\dfrac9{\lambda^2}+\dfrac9{\lambda^2}=9

\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac32

\implies x=1,y=2,z=-2\text{ or }x=-1,y=-2,z=2

At these points, we have

T(1,2,-2)=28

T(-1,-2,2)=-26

so the highest temperature the bee can experience is 28º F at the point (1, 2, -2), and the lowest is -26º F at the point (-1, -2, 2).

What is the value of the expression 24 + 32? (2 points)
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Round: 24 is 20 and 34 is 30

20 + 30 = 50

now unrounded, it's easier.

24 + 32 = 56

because 4 + 2 = 6, we know to add on only a few more.

What is the area of the playground shown? The edges of the playground meet at right angles, except for the edge whose length is
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

520,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1400 x 200 = 280000

(400 + 800) x 400 /2 = 240000

240000 + 280000 = 520000
