If the amount of waking time 4 year old children spend with their fathers each day is 42 minutes while the daily waking time spe

Answer:

7/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the question is phrased such that it asks "the ratio of time with father <em>to...."</em>, we know to put the time with father on top, or first. Similarly, since it is asked to put the ratio of time with the father to the time in daycare, we can put the daycare amount second/on the bottom. Therefore, we can write the ratio as

(42 minutes)/(6 hours)

To make both of these in terms of minutes to simplify it, we know that 60 minutes = 1 hour, so 1 hour / 60 minutes =1 . Since multiplying something by 1 keeps it the same, we can multiply our ratio by this amount. We want to multiply with the hour on top so the hours cancel out, as so:

\frac{42 minutes}{6 hours} * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}  = \frac{42 minutes * hours}{360 minutes * hours} = \frac{42}{360}

To simplify this even further, we can note that 6 is a factor of both 42 and 360*, so we can multiply this fraction by (1/6) / (1/6) to get

(42/360) * (1/6)/(1/6) = 7/60 as our final answer

If this doesn't come up immediately, you can always find the greatest common factor by listing the factors of each number and finding the highest one that fits both, e.g.

for 42: 42, 21, 14, 7 , 6...

for 360: 360,180, ... 6,5....

Which of the following is the graph of f(x) = x2 + 3x − 4?
xenn [34]

Answer:

2nd graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 3x - 4

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 3x - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

The only graph with zeros at x = - 4 and x = 1 is the 2nd graph

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this
Illusion [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 13x + 30

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 30) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)

The factors are - 3 and - 10, since

- 3 × - 10 = + 30 and - 3 - 10 = - 13 , thus

x² - 13x + 30 = (x - 3)(x - 10) ← in factored form

Thus (x - 3) is a factor of the polynomial → A

Please help!! also please explain I would like to understand.​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put this equation in slope intercept form.

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

y+1>2(x-1) \\ \\ y+1>2x-2 \\ \\ y>2x-3

Since it's greater than, the solution set is above the line, effectively eliminating graph D.

Now we should graph it.

We can see that the point (2,1) is on the graph, and only Graph A has that point. Therefore, Graph A is the correct graph.
