Use the number line to show and explain why 4/10 ÷ 2 and 4/10 × 1/2 both equal 2/10

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vesna [10]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide by a number, you basically are multiplying by the reciprocal

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2

4/10 ÷ 2 = 4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

Using a number line,

Start at 4/10 and move down by 2 until you reach 0

Start at 4/10 and move up by 1/2 from 0 until you reach 4/10

(Count the number of humps)

Both will be the same

You have one type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and another type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb. You would like to have 7.2 lbs
brilliants [131]

Answer: 2.4 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and 4.8 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb that you would need.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb that you would need.

You would like to have 7.2 lbs of a nut mixture. It means that

x + y = 7.2

The mixture would sell for $4.60/lb. It means that the cost of the mixture would be

4.6 × 7.2 = $33.12

This means that

3x + 5.4y = 33.12- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7.2 - y Intl equation 1, it becomes

3(7.2 - y) + 5.4y = 33.12

21.6 - 3y + 5.4y = 33.12

- 3y + 5.4y = 33.12 - 21.6

2.4y = 11.52

y = 11.52/2.4

y = 4.8

x = 7.2 - y = 7.2 - 4.8

x = 2.4
