Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. If not, write invalid. Explain your reasoning.
3. Given: If a number is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 2. 12 is divisible by four.
Conclusion: 12 is divisible by 2.
SOLUTION:
If p → q is a true statement and p is true, then q. Here, a number divisible 4 is divisible by 2 also and 12 is divisible by 4. So, 12 is divisible by 2 is a valid statement by the Law of Detachment.
ANSWER:
valid; Law of Detachment
4. Given: If Elan stays up late, he will be tired the next day. Elan is tired.
Conclusion: Elan stayed up late.
SOLUTION:
If p is true, then q is true, but q being true does not necessarily mean that p is true. Elan could be tired because he worked out. So, the statement is invalid.
ANSWER:
Invalid; Elan could be tired because he worked out.

Answer:

a. 5 \frac{21}{40}

b. \frac{1}{42}

Step-by-step explanation:

a. \: 12 \frac{2}{5}  - 6 \frac{7}{8}

\frac{62}{5}  -  \frac{55}{8}

\frac{62}{8}  \times   \frac{8}{8}  -   \frac{55}{8}   \times  \frac{5}{5}

\frac{62 \times 8 - 55 \times 5}{40}

\frac{221}{40}

5 \frac{21}{40}

b. \:  \frac{3}{14}  -  \frac{4}{21}

\frac{3}{14}  \times  \frac{3}{3}  -  \frac{4}{21}  \times  \frac{2}{2}

\frac{3 \times 3}{42}  -  \frac{4 \times 2}{42}

\frac{1}{42}

Hope it is helpful....

A fenced in rectangular region with the dimensions 4 yards by 8 yards is suddenly expanded by the same distance in each dimensio
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.

The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle

area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4

                                              = 32

The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.

But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.

(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60

x^{2} + 12x + 28 = 60

x^{2} + 12x - 32 = 0

(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x = -14 or x =2

Thus, x = 2

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.
