Answer:

The complete and simplified answer to the question what is 6/8 of 5 is:

3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You probably know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well.

Here's a little tip for you. Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator: 5/1

So now that we've converted 5 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 6/8 side by side with our new fraction, 5/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:

6 x 5/ 8 x 1 = 30 /8

In this case, our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 30 and 8 is 2.

We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 2 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.

30/2 = 15

8/2 = 4

When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is:

15/ 4

If you now simplifiy the COMPLETE anwser is:

3 3/4

horsena [70]

From the table we can see:
Number of songs:         Cost:
          0                         $ 0
          1                         $1.25
          2                         $2.50
          3                         $3.75
          4                         $5.00
Therefore the rate of change is: (2.50 - 1.25) / ( 2 - 1 ) = $1.25
Answer:
It means that : C. The cost increases $1.25 for each additional song that is downloaded.

50,000 contestants participate in an on-line game. The game randomly eliminates 20% of the contestants each day. Determine the n

irga5000 [103]

Answer:10,486 contestants

Step-by-step explanation:

First day:

Total number of contestants at the beginning = 50,000

After first day, 20% 0f 50,000 are removed.

That is, (20/100)×50,000 = 10,000

Contestants remaining after first day = 50,000-10,000 = 40,000

Second day:

Contestants= 40,000

20% removed

That is (20/100)×40000=8000

Balance =40000-8000=32,000

Third day:

Contestants= 32000

20% removed

That is (20/100)×32000=6400

Balance =32000-6400=25,600

Fouth day:

Contestants= 25,600

20% removed

That is (20/100)×25,600=5,120

Balance =25,600-5,120=20,480

Fifth day:

Contestants= 20,480

20% removed

That is (20/100)×20,480=4096

Balance =20,480-4096=16,384

Sixth day:

Contestants= 16,384

20% removed

That is (20/100)×16,384=3276.8

Balance =16,384-3276.8=13,107.2

Seventh day:

Contestants= 13,107.2

20% removed

That is (20/100)×13,107.2=2621.44

Balance =13107.2-2621.44=10485.76

Therefore, number of contestants remaining after one week equals 10,486.
