<h3>Answer: A) 1/12</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Using a calculator shows that

  • 1/12 = 0.0833333.... where the 3's go on forever
  • 7/8 = 0.875
  • 14/25 = 0.56
  • 17/20 = 0.85
  • 6/10 = 0.6

We see that nearly all of the decimal values are terminating decimals. This means the decimals don't go on forever, so the decimals stop at some point.

Only 0.083333... goes on forever, so that's why 1/12 converts to a repeating decimal number.

----------------------

A way you can determine this without a calculator is to use long division. Or you could use the idea that if the denominator has prime factors other than 2 and 5, then the decimal will repeat forever.

Note how the denominators of the fractions for choices B through E all have prime factors of either 2s only, 5s only, or a mix of 2s and 5s. This fact is why we have terminating decimals here.

In contrast, 12 has prime factorization 2*2*3. That 3 as a prime factor is why the decimal repeats forever.

If Smith is guilty, then Jones is innocent. If Jones is innocent, then Smith is guilty. Write each biconditional statement in ex
Volgvan

Answer:

The required biconditional statement is: If Smith is guilty, if and only if Jones is innocent.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the provided statement.

The statement is: If Smith is guilty, then Jones is innocent.

The converse is: If Jones is innocent, then Smith is guilty.

The combination of a conditional statement and its converse is called biconditional statement.

The biconditional statement contains if and only if phrase between two part of the statement.

Which means the statement and converse both are true.

Therefore, the required biconditional statement is: If Smith is guilty, if and only if Jones is innocent.

What’s the answer for a, and b, and how would you solve it?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

a) negative

b) -7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The x value increased, but the y value decreased so the line goes down and has a negative slope

(y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂) is the slope where (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are points on the line

(4-(-3))/(-1-5)=7/-6

Plez halp with question bc im smol brain
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

B. y= 2x–15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the line that passes through the points (8, 1) and (10,5) is y= 2x–15

"x" is found on the left hand side of the bracket and "y" is found on the right hand side of the bracket :)

(8, 1) and (10, 5)

x in the first bracket is 8 and x in the second bracket is 10.

y in the first bracket is 1 and y in the second bracket is 5.

When this equation is applied to find the value for y we get:

y= 2x-15

y= 2(8)-15

y= 16-15

y= 1

y= 2x-15

y= 2(10)-15

y= 20-15

y= 5

We got back the values of y and this means that the equation was correctly chosen and the answer is correct :)
