Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 8 as the denominator :

x x • 8

x = — = —————

1 8

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • 8 - (9) 8x - 9

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

8x-177

—————— • 8 = 0 • 8

8

Now, on the left hand side, the 8 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

8x-177 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2 Solve : 8x-177 = 0

Add 177 to both sides of the equation :

8x = 177

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

x = 177/8 = 22.125

HELP PLEASE! 50 POINTS AND WILL MARK BRAINLIEST.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

a) independent = hours

   dependent = wages

b ) W = 10 + 5h

c)27.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the one that you change which is the number of hours that it takes

The dependent variable is the variable that changes based on the independent variable.  The wages depends on the hour worked so the wages are the independent variable

The wages equal the fixed cost plus the hourly rate times the number of hours  where W is the wages and h is the number of hours

W = 10 + 5h

W = 10 + 5( 3.5)

    = 10 + 17.5

    = 27.5

Packaging By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting fl
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length:  12 inches

Width: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the side length of the square

The height of the box by cutting squares off :x

  • The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
  • The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)

The new volume of it is:

V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x

<=> V = 4x^3 -44x^2 +105x

To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume

\dfrac{dV}{dx} = 0

<=> 12x^2-88x+105=0

<=> \left(2x-3\right)\left(6x-35\right) = 0

<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0

<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6

To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24x -88

  • If  x = 3/2, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}= 24(3/2) -88  = -52

  • If x = 35/6, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24(35/6) -88 = 52

We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.

So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches

Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
