Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.
So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.
Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.
However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.
The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.
So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.
Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
Answer: 25 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Since one number is 3 bigger than the other, we can call them x, and x-3.
Then we know that the sum of 3 times x and 2 times (x-3) is equal to 19, so we can make the equation
3x+2(x-3)=19
Simplifying would get you
3x+2x-6=19
adding the x's and adding six to both sides of the equations gets you
5x = 25
divide by 5 and
x=5
Put those numbers back into your previous labels for them, x and x-3, and you get 5 and 2
Hope this helps
The answer should be $152.
$6,472 - $1,000 = $5,472
Divide $5,472 by 36 and you end up with $152.
Answer:
g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to do this is to try a couple and then see if you can make some sort of equation that follows the rule.
g(1) = - 19
=============
g(2) = g(2 - 1) + 6
g(2) = g(1) + 6
g(2) = -19 + 6
g(2) = -13
=============
g(3) = g(2) + 6
g(3) = -13 + 6
g(3) = - 7
==========
g(4) = g(3) + 6
g(4) = - 7 + 6
g(4) = - 1
==========
g(5) = 5
g(6) =11
===========
Now the hard part. You have to start with - 19
The nth term is g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6
Now see if it works.
g(7) = - 19 + (7 - 1)*6
g(7) = - 19 + 6 * 6
g(7) = -19 + 36
g(7) = 17
Is that correct?
g(7) = g(n - 1) + 6
g(7) = g(6) + 6
g(7) = 11 + 6
g(7) = 17 Seems to be the same as the explicit formula gives.
