What is 1/2 of 2/3 enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms

1 answer:

6 0

You can multiply the fractions together to get the final answer. To multiply fractions you can times the top and the bottoms of both fractions together to get the new fraction;
1/2 * 2/3 = (1*2)/(2*3) = 2/6

Then you can simplify the fraction, to do this you can find a common number between the top and the bottom fractions and then you can divide the top and the bottom by that common number. In this case the common number between the two fractions is 2;
(2/2)/(6/2) = 1/3

The answer is 1/3,
Hope this helps! :)

Solve for x and y simultaneously: X-2y=3 4xsquared-5xy+6y=3

Mkey [24]

X - 2y = 3
4x^2 - 5xy + 6y = 3
lets solve for x the first and substitute in the second:
x = 3 + 2y
4(3 + 2y)^2 - 5(3 + 2y)y + 6y = 3
4(9 + 12y + 4y^2) - 15y - 10y^2 = 3
36 + 48y +16y^2 - 15y - 10y^2 = 3
6y^2 + 33y + 33 = 0
we can solve using the general quadratic formula:
y = (-33 +- √(33^2 - 4*6*33))/12
y = (-33 +- √(297))/12
so there are 2 solutions for y:
y1 = (-33 + √(297))/12
y2 = (-33 - √(297))/12
pick one and then substitute the y value in the first equation to find x

A robotic machine fills containers with an acid solution at the rate of 50 + 5 t milliliters (mL) per second, where t is in seco

Alika [10]

Answer:

12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The machine fills the containers at a rate of 50+5t milliliters (mL) per second.

Therefore, the rate of change of the number of containers, N is:

$\dfrac{dN}{dt}=50+5t, 0\leq t\leq 60$

$dN=(50+5t)dt\\$Taking integrals of both sides\\\int dN=\int (50+5t)dt\\N(t)=50t+\frac{5t^2}{2}+C $(C a constant of integration)\\\\When t=0, , No containers are filled, therefore:$ N(t)=0\\0=50(0)+\frac{5(0)^2}{2}+C\\C=0\\$Therefore, N(t)=50t+2.5t^2$

When t=60 seconds

$N(60)=50(60)+2.5(60)^2\\N(60)=12000$ mL$

Therefore, 12,000 milliliters of acid solution are put into a container in 60 seconds.

Heights for women are bell-shaped with a mean of 65 inches and standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If a random sample of 16 women

loris [4]

Answer:

μ= 65 inches; σ= 0.625 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
