What is the best estimate for the sum of fractions 5//6 and 5/8

Mathematics
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer is 25/24 or 1.041

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 5/6 and 5/8, you can't find the sum at that point. This means we will have to find a common denominator, which will be 24.

6 x 4 = 24 and 8 x 3 = 24

Doing this, you will have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the value the denominator needs to be multiplied by to get 24.

5/6 x 4/4 = 20/24 and 5/8 x 3/3 = 15/24

After getting these values, you can then add them.

20/24 + 15/24 = 25/24 or 1.041

Solve the system of equations using elimination.<br><br> 4x - 7y = 5<br> 9x – 7y = –15
Anni [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to get one positive 7y so,

4x-7y=5

9x-7y=-15

multiply anyone of the equation by -1. I choose the first one so,

4x+7y=-5

9x-7y=-15

we can now cancel the y's so the equation will be left with

-4x=-5

9x=-15

add the equations

5x=-20

divide by 5 n u get

x=-4

now plug in the x value in any one of the

equations

I choose the first one so,

4(-4)-7y=5

-16-7y=5

add 16 to both sides

-7y=21

divide by -7

y=-3.

finally check.

What is the output of the function when the input is 0
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Any ordinate pair (x, y) represents the input output values of a function to be graphed.

For any input value of x, there will be an output value (y).

If input value for the graph attached is x = 0,

Output value will be represented by the y-value along y-axis as, y = -1

Therefore, y = -1 will be the answer.

Answer:

  • scale factor: 3
  • rule: (x, y) ⇒ (3x +15, 3y -24)
  • center: (-7.5, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by comparing the length of CB to the length of RQ.

  B-C = (-2, 8) -(-4, 9) = (2, -1)

  Q-R = (9, 0) -(3, 3) = (6, -3)

The length of RQ is clearly 3 times the length of CB, so the scale factor (k) is ...

  ratio of corresponding differences = 6/2 = -3/-1 = 3 . . . . . scale factor

__

We know that for dilation about a point O, the distance from O is multiplied by the scale factor. For dilation of point B to point Q, this means ...

  k(B -O) = (Q -O)

Solving for Q, we get ...

  Q = kB -kO +O . . . . this is what our dilation rule will look like.

The quantity O-kO can be found by subtracting kB:

  Q -kB = O -kO = O(1 -k)

This is what we need for our dilation rule.

  Q -kB = (9, 0) -3(-2, 8) = (9+6, 0-24) = (15, -24)

So, our dilation rule is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ k(x, y) +(15, -24)

  (x, y) ⇒ (3x +15, 3y -24) . . . . . dilation rule

__

The center of dilation can be found from ...

  (Q -kB)/(1 -k) = O

  O = (15, -24)/(1 -3) = (-7.5, 12)

The center of dilation is (-7.5, 12).

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

On the graph, the center of dilation can be found by drawing a line through a point and its image. (Points are always dilated along a line through the center of dilation.) The intersection of two such lines is the center of dilation.

On this graph, the center is just above the top edge of the chart, at point (-7.5, 12). You can see this if you carefully draw lines BQ and AP.

You usually have coordinates for two original points and two image points, so finding the scale factor the way we did is not difficult. If you just have one point on the original and the image, the scale factor is found by finding their distances from the center of dilation. Each image point is k times as far as each original point from that center.

How do you simplify the expression (s+t)3
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

3s + 3t

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this expression, all you need to do is distribute the 3, which means you basically multiply whatever is in the parentheses by 3:

(s + t) * 3 =

3s + 3t

And that is the simplified form for this expression.

Hope this helps :)
