Find the midpoint of a and b when a has coordinates (-5,3) and b has coordinates (3,-1)

azamat

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2
(-5+3)/2 = -2/2 = -1
To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2
(3+-1)/2 = 2/2 = 1
(-1,1)

If 6/10 is multiplied by a fraction less than 1,which of these would be an answer 6/10,1/2,3/2,or 5

Pavlova-9 [17]

If $\frac{6}{10}$ is multiplied with a fraction less than 1, out of the given options $\frac{1}{2}$ would be the answer.

Explanation:

First, we need to determine what a fraction lesser than 1 is. If the numerator is lesser than the denominator, the fraction will be lesser than 1 whereas if the denominator is higher than the numerator is would equal more than 1.
If $\frac{6}{10}$ is multiplied with 1, we get the value $\frac{6}{10}$ . Since the fraction must be lesser than 1, $\frac{6}{10}$ cannot be an answer. So option 1 cannot be the answer.
The value of $\frac{6}{10}$ is 0.6. If it is multiplied with any value lesser than 1, the resulting value cannot be higher than the value of 0.6. The value of the fraction $\frac{3}{2}$ is 1.5 and the value of 5 are both greater than 0.6. So the third and fourth options cannot be the answer. So $\frac{1}{2}$ is the answer.
