Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can change all the fractions to have equivalent denominators.

The Least Common Denominator of 1 1/4 and 3/8 is 8. Now we can change the fractions.

1 1/4 = 1 2/8 = 10/8.

3/8 = 3/8.

Now we can subtract. Subtract the numerators of the first fraction from the numerators of the second fraction, and the denominators oft he first fraction to the denominators of the second fraction.

10/8 - 3/8 = 7/8.

Therefore, 1 1/4 - 3/8 = 7/8; the fourth answer.

A certain rumor spreads through a community at the rate dy/dt= 2y(1−y) , where y is the proportion of the population that has he

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

1/2 or 50% of the population has heard the rumor when it is spreading fastest.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to take the derivative with respect to y from the r(y) = dy/dt = 2y(1-y) and equal to zero. At this condition we maximize the function and will get the maximum of the rumor spreading.

$\frac{d(r(y))}{dy}=2-4y=0$
