By finding like denominators, you can add the fractions on each side. Then, compare by cross multiplying.

frozen [14]

Answer:

5.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine both factors...

1.35 comes from 135, it's 100 times smaller, so this factor would force me to move the decimal point by 2 positions to the left.

4.2 comes from 42, it's 10 times smaller, so this factor would force me to move the decimal point by 1 position to the left.

In total, the decimal point would have to be moved by 3 positions, to the left... so 5,670 would become 5.67

Which is easily verifiable just by looking at the end equation, even without calculating it:

1.35 * 4.2 would give something around 5...  not around 50 nor 500.

2.3. Use the following subtraction strategies to calculate 884-597: 2.3.1. breaking up the second number 2.3.2. adding on to the
DochEvi [55]

It should be noted that the value of 597 subtracted from 884 is 287.

<h3>How to illustrate the subtraction?</h3>

The information is simply that we should subtract 884 and 597 and also illustrate it.

This will be:

884 - 597 = 287.

A word problem illustrating this is that a man had 884 pens and gave 597 pens to his friends. How many pens does he have left?

This will be:

= 884 - 597 = 287

Factor 15z^2+17z-18 please show work
siniylev [52]

There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.  

15z² +17z - 18 =  

d = 17² - 4.15.-18  

d = 289 + 1080  

d = 1369  

z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15  

z = (-17 + 37) : 30  

z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3  

z" = (-17 - 37) : 30  

z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8

Jayden, Maggy, and Ramon shared $49 in the ratio 2:5:7. How much more did Ramon get then Jayden
Drupady [299]
Since the ratio is 2:5:7, you can set up the equation 2x + 5x + 7x = 49. Solving it will give you 14x = 49 or x = 3.5. This means that Jayden got 7(3.5) = $24.50 and Ramon got 2(3.5) = $7. Therefore Ramon got $24.50 - $7 more than Jayden, which is equal to $17.50.

Using exponential functions, it is found that:

a) Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.

b) The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.

A decaying <em>exponential function</em> is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

  • Caffeine metabolize at a rate of 13% per hour, hence r = 0.13.

Then:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

A(t) = A(0)(1 - 0.13)^t

A(t) = A(0)(0.87)^t

Item a:

The coffee cup contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, hence A(0) = 150.

At 6 a.m., it is 8 hours after drinking the coffee, hence we have to find A(8).

A(t) = A(0)(0.87)^t

A(8) = 150(0.87)^8

A(8) = 49.2

Since the <u>amount of caffeine will be less than 50 mg</u>, the patient will be ready for the blood test by 6 a.m.

Item b:

This A(0), considering <u>A(11) = 50</u>, hence:

50 = A(0)(0.87)^{11}

A(0) = \frac{50}{(0.87)^{11}}

A(0) = 231

The patient could have ingest 231 milligrams of caffeine.
