75 \div  \frac{3}{5}  = 125

There are 125 pages in the whole book.

//

Proof:

125 \times   \frac{3}{5}  = 75

Answer:

125 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll show you two ways to solve this problem. The first one uses an equation, and the second one uses a model like the problem suggests.

1) Solution using an equation:

The book has an unknown number of pages, so we call that unknown number x.

She read 3/5 of the pages of the book, so she read 3/5 of x.

We are told that 3/5 of x is 75.

We write an equation, and we solve it.

3/5 x = 75

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/5 which is 5/3.

5/3 * 3/5 x = 5/3 * 75

x = 125

Since we let x = the number of pages, then the answer is:

Answer: There are 125 in the book.

2) Solution using the drawing of a model

Below, each space of 10 dashes between 2 plus signs represents 1/5 of the book. There are 5 fifths in a unit, so there are 5 spaces of 10 dashes.

+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

    1/5          1/5        1/5         1/5         1/5

3/5 of the book is 3 of those spaces.

<-------------- 3/5 ------------>

+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

    1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5

We are told she read 3/5 of the book and that is 75 pages.

<-------------- 3/5 ------------>

<------------75 p ------------->

+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

    1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5

Since 3/5 of the book is 75 pages, 1/5 of the book is 1/3 of 75 pages. That means that each 1/5 of the book is 25 pages since 75/3 = 25.

   25 p       25 p      25 p     25 p      25 p

+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+

    1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5         1/5

Since there are 5 fifths in 1 unit, there are 5 times 25 pages in the entire book.

5 * 25 pages = 125 pages.

This second solution was obtained by drawing a model instead of using an equation.

Answer: There are 125 pages in the book.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help! :)<br><br> Which graph represents the function?
Monica [59]

Answer: Upper right corner

=========================================================

How I got that answer:

The line y = x goes through (0,0) and (1,1). You would normally extend this line out as far as you can in both directions. However, the inequality x < -1 says you can only graph this if x is less than -1. We will not graph any part of the graph that is beyond x = -1 to the right. So we only have a small piece of it. The left piece of y = x. There is an open hole at the endpoint.

Similarly, y = -x is only graphed if x >= -1. We have a closed endpoint here. This graph goes through (0,0) and (1,-1). We erase the portion that is to the left of x = -1.

Doing all this leads to the upper right corner choice as our answer. The bottom right corner is close to the answer, but the open and closed endpoints are in the wrong spots.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The answer is "Option a"

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rejecting or the null hypothesis is refused by the refuting were used when the significance for our data analysis is less than the cut-off points, for example, either 0.05 or 0.01, therefore reject the null accept the alternative hypothesis, that's why in this question, the first choice is correct.
