Answer:

The threatest whole number in the interval is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers and intervals

We are given the interval of numbers between -16 and 2. Since it's not specified, both endpoints of the interval are not included.

If we consider the interval as real numbers, then there are infinitely many numbers there, like -15, -12.56, -8, -2pi, 0.02, 1.99.

If we are restricted to only whole numbers, then we get a limited set of the numbers: {-15, -14, -13, -12,....,1}

Note the greatest number at the right endpoint of the interval is 1, since we are not including 2.

The threatest whole number in the interval is 2

Natalia solved the problem 74.4/12=6.2. complete the model with partial products check Natalia's work using multiplication

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Natalia's work is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalia divided a decimal number by an entire number. Since division is a operation derived from multiplication, the best approach to check if work was good is multiplying the given result by denomination, that is:

1) $x = 6.2\times 12$ Given.

2) $x = \left(6+0.2\right)\times 12$ Definition of addition.

3) $x = 6\times 12 + 0.2\times 12$ Distributive property.

4) $x = 72 + \frac{2}{10}\times 12$ Definitions of multiplication and decimal number.

5) $x = 72 +[2\cdot (10)^{-1}]\cdot 12$ Definition of division/Associative property.

6) $x = 72 + [2\cdot 12]\cdot (10)^{-1}$ Associative property.

7) $x = 72 + 24\cdot 10^{-1}$ Definition of multiplication.

8) $x = 72 + \frac{24}{10}$ Definition of divsion.

9) $x = 72 + 2.4$ Defintion of decimal number.

10) $x = 74.4$ Definition of addition/Result

Natalia's work is wrong.

I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.

Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.

Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.

One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.

Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.

So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:

y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
