So to find how many tenths, or 1/10's, there are in four fifths, or 4/5, divide 4/5 by 1/10.

Now, remember that <u>dividing by a number is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal</u>. To find the reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator around. In this case, 1/10 would become 10/1. Flip 1/10 to its reciprocal, change the sign to multiplication, and multiply numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators:

<u>In short, there are 8 tenths in four fifths.</u>
Answer:
k is the vertical shift
Step-by-step explanation:
y=a(x-h)^2+k
This gives the parabola in vertex form
(h,k) is the vertex where h is the x coordinate and k is the y coordinate
k is the vertical shift
Answer:
a) <em>t</em> ≥ 5
b) (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make note of the info you are given and what you're trying to do:
- at midnight, 5°C
- drops consistently 2°C per hour
- finding <em>t</em>
- <em>t </em>= # of hours past midnight when temp. was past -4°C
- put <em>t</em> on a number line
So, first, you need to find the first point at when the temperature goes past -4°C. Notice that the question is asking for past -4°C, not -4°C<em> and</em> past. This means we're not including -4°C.
Every hour, we're dropping by 2°C. You can draw a visual to better understand the situation. See the image below.
So we know that starting from 5 am, we are lower than -4°C.
This is 5 hours from midnight.
So <em>t</em> ≥ 5. This means that the number of hours past midnight when the temperature was colder than -4°C was 5 or more hours.
On the number line, draw a circle on 5 (between 4 and 6), but shade it in because it includes 5. Then, shade or highlight to the right of that circle to the end of the number line.
This shows that <em>t</em> is equal to or greater than 5.
