Explain how you know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

1 answer:

5 0

Simple, 7/12 is greater than 1/3 because 7/12=0.58333 and 1/3=0.333, 0.58333 is greater than 0.333. That is how I know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3. I know that 1/3 is less than 2/3 because 1/3=0.333 and 2/3=0.666, 0.333 is less than 0.666

dlinn [17]

The slope of an absolute function at the point where it evaluates to zero is undefined.
Here, when x=1, so |4x-4|=|4-4|=|0|, the slope is undefined. This is where the vertex of the "V" on the graph of the absolute value function.

A gift basket has 2 soaps and 5 lotions and costs $20. A second basket has 6 spas and 15 lotions and cost $60. Is it possible to

kifflom [539]

A second basket has 6 spas--- I think you mean 6 soaps , so i will work with that

Answer:it is not possible to determine the price of the soap with the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s0ap be represented as x

and lotion be represented as y

2 soaps and 5 lotions costing $20 gives us equation 1 as

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

second basket with 6 soaps and 15 lotions and costing $60 gives us equation 2 as

6x + 15y= 60------equation 2

Step 2 -- Solving

2 x+ 5y= 20-------- equation 1

6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

BY elimination method, we multiply equation 1 by (3)

2x + 5y= 20 x (3)

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

Subtraction of equation 3 from equation 2 gives us

6x + 15y=60-------equation 3

-6x + 15y= 60--------equation 2

0x +0y=0 which is no solution

Therefore it is not possible to determine the price of the soap
