Answer:

The converse is:

if the ratio of lefties to righties is 1 : 8, then for every 3 left handed people, there are 24 right handed people.

The truth value is:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement can be split into:

p -> If a class has 3 left-handed people and 24 right-handed people,

q -> the ratio of lefties to righties is 1:8

The converse of a conditional statement is:

if q then p

So, we have the converse to be;

if the ratio of lefties to righties is 1 : 8, then for every 3 left handed people, there are 24 right handed people.

The truth value.

For p, we have.

Ratio = 3 : 24

This can be simplified to.

Ratio = 1 : 8

For q, we have:

Ratio = 1 : 8

Since both are true, then the truth value is true

What is x divided 7 = 3; 20, 21, 22

chubhunter [2.5K]

X/7= 3
⇒ x= 3*7
⇒ x= 21

x/7= 20
⇒ x= 20*7
⇒ x= 140

x/7= 21
⇒ x= 21*7
⇒ x= 147

x/7= 22
⇒ x= 22*7
⇒ x= 154

Hope this helps~

Answer: 1; -5

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are asked to find the slope and y-intercept.

We see that this linear line goes through the y-axis at (0,-5). therefore, our y-intercept is -5.

To find the slope, we would use the formula $m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ . We can use the points (0,-5) and (5,0) since we can clearly see the line goes through these 2 points.

$m=\frac{0-(-5)}{5-0} =\frac{5}{5} =1$

From our formula, we found that the slope is 1.

For the first box, you would fill in 1, the slope. The second box would be -5, the y-intercept.

sweet [91]

A conservative vector field $\mathbf f$ has curl $\nabla\times\mathbf f=\mathbf0$ . In this case,

$\nabla\times\mathbf f=12xy^2z(1-z)\,\mathbf j+4yz^2(2z-3x)\,\mathbf k\neq\mathbf 0$

so the vector field is not conservative.

Consider the following equivalent expressions: 38÷1312 and 38⋅ab. What are the values of a and b? Give the value of a followed b

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The values of a and b are {12,13}

Step-by-step explanation:

As,

$\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{13}{12}}=\frac{3}{8}\frac{a}{b}$

We convert the division into a multiplication by inverting the denominator

$\frac{3}{8}}\frac{12}{13}=\frac{3}{8}\frac{a}{b}$

Therefore, the smallest possible non-negative whole numbers for a and b could be are 12 and 13, respectively.
