Decimal: It’s easier to work with the numbers You can add, subtract, multiply and divide in your head (for the most part) instead of having to find common denominators and things like that.
Fraction: You can put repeating values in fraction form to represent them in a simpler way, as opposed to having to put the line over the repeating digits if it were in decimal form.
Power: Powers are just condensed forms of repeated multiplication, so they save space/time and you can use certain properties with some powers that allow you to multiply and divide them instantly.
Scientific notation: This is good when you’re dealing with numbers that have a lot of digits/place value. That can become confusing, so scientific notation is a way we can represent these numbers clearly and more condensed (takes less space/time).
The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
The answer is 84 because 21 times 4 equals 84
2 quarts- 8 tablespoons
12 quarts- 8 x 6 = 48 tablespoons
Answer:
If Father is four times older than Mary, that would be 4 times 10-- which equals 40. Five years ago, Mary must have been 5 years old. So, multiply 7 and 5 and you'll get 35! Father would have been 35 years old.
I hope this helps!
