4 0

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the denominator in half

10/2 = 5

4 is close to 5 so 4/10 is close to 1/2

Answer:

4/10 is closer to 1/2.

Think of a pie. There are 10 slices total, but only 4 slices remain, because I ate them all! Do you think that 4 out of 10 slices would be closer to a whole pie or half a pie? It would be closer half a pie.

Further explanation:

If you were to round the number 44 to the closest ten, it would be 40. If you were to round 47 to he nearest ten, it would be 50. If you were to round 45 to the nearest ten, it would also be 50. I hope this helps!

Half (1/2) is the answer.

Answer:

Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of 500 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = height x length x width

considering 'x' as the length of the square corners that has been cut out from the cardboard and also, that is height of the cardboard box.

square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box, cardboard sides would reduce by 2x

therefore,

V = x (30-2x) (30-2x) ---> eq(1)

V=( 30x - 2x²) (30-2x)

V= 900x- 60x² - 60x² + 4x³

V= 4x³ - 120 x²+ 900x

Taking derivative w.r.t 'x'

dV/dx = 12x² - 240 x +900

dV/dx = 4 (3x² - 60x +225)

For maximum dV/dx, make it equal zero

dV/dx = 0

so, 4 (3x² - 60x +225)=0

3x² - 60x+225=0 (taking 3 common)

x² - 20x + 75 =0

Solving this quadratic equation

x² - 15x -5x + 75 =0

x(x-15) - 5(x-15) =0

Either (x-15)=0

x=15

Or x-5=0

x = 5

if we substitute x=15 in eq(1), volume becomes zero.

therefore, x cannot be 15

When x= 5

eq(1)=>V = 5 (30-2(5)) (30-2(5))

V= 5 (10) (10)

V= 500 cubic inches,

Therefore, Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of 500 cubic inches

Answer:

B. x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's put them in order from greatest to least:

$\{-2,-5,-9,-12\}$

Given our possible inequalities, we need to find the inequality that contains all of these values.

The inequality that works is x < -1, as all values are less than -1.

Therefore, the answer is B. x < -1.

Its for science but its got math involved its got to do with speed distance and time

KIM [24]

distance:1, 1, 1.3, 1.5, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 3 ,3.2, 4

time. :1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ,. 9 ,10

distance:1.5, 2, 3.2, 4.2, 5, 6, 7, 8

time. : 1 , 2, 3 , 4. , 5, 6, 7, 8

<h3>at 5 seconds which travelled the greatest distance : snail 2</h3>

<h3>which travelled a greater distance:snail 2</h3>

<h3>what is the speed of snail 1 at 8 second :</h3>

distance = 3. Time = 8

speed = distance

time

speed = 8

speed =2.66

approximately = 2.7. or 3
