Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is a false statement, due to the fact '6' is larger than four. In this case, the six is negative. Therefore, negative numbers are always closer to zero than positive numbers.

Hope it helped :)

Rolling a Red and Yellow Dice
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Option C 5/12 is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the probability that shows yellow dice has a larger value than the red dice.

Probability= total no of favorable outcomes / total no of outcomes

in our case, considering the data set, we have to find those pair where value of yellow die is greater than the red die. Where (1,2) represents 1 on the red die and 2 on the yellow die

(1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

     (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

              (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

                       (4,5) (4,6)

                                (5,6)

These are the possibilities where yellow die has greater value than red die.

total no of favorable outcomes = 15

total no of outcomes = 36

probability that yellow die has greater value than red die = 15 / 36

                                                                                                = 5/ 12

Option C 5/12 is correct option

What is 6.34 when the 34 is repeating as a fraction
lana [24]

ANSWER:

6_34/99

STEP:

So yes. When a decimal is repeating, you can take the repeating number (most likely a decimal) and put 99 under it. Since 99 cannot be solved, you put 99. So, 34/99. Though we are not finished. There is still the whole 6 number left. So, you do 6_34/99.

Proof:

10x=6.6...

 -x=-0.6...

9x=6

x=6/9=1/3.

What is 3/2=9/10k im having troble lots rly
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

k=  5 over 3  =1.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    (3)/(2)-((9)/(10)*k)=0

simplify 9/10

 3      9

 — -  (—— • k)  = 0  

 2     10

simplify 3/2

 3    9k

 — -  ——  = 0  

 2    10

   Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       2  

     The right denominator is :       10

Least Common Multiple:

     10

Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M  

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M  

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno  

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 5

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      3 • 5

  ——————————————————  =   —————

        L.C.M              10  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      9k

  ——————————————————  =   ——

        L.C.M             10

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3 • 5 - (9k)     15 - 9k

————————————  =  ———————

     10            10  

Pull out like factors :

  15 - 9k  =   -3 • (3k - 5)

-3 • (3k - 5)

 —————————————  = 0  

      10      

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -3•(3k-5)

 ————————— • 10 = 0 • 10

    10    

Now, on the left hand side, the  10  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -3  •  (3k-5)  = 0

Solve :    -3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    3k-5 = 0  

Add  5  to both sides of the equation :  

                     3k = 5

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    k = 5/3 = 1.667

one solution was found

k = 5/3 = 1.667

hope it helps sry its so long
