<span>Yes, she is reasoning correct, because:

 6 1/4  and 2 3/4 are mixed fractions and you can substract them as it shown below:

 1. You must substract the fractional parts (</span>which are: 1/4 and 3/4) of the mixed fractions. You can notice that the have the same denominator "4", so you only need write this denominaro and substract the numerators:

 = (1-3)/4=-2/4 

 When you simplify the result, you obtain:

 =-1/2

 Now, you must sum the integer parts:

 6-2=4

 Finally, you obtain:

 4 -1/2

Explain why any of the four operations (+x +) placed between the two terms 5 and-3/(radical sign) 8 will result in an irrational
kompoz [17]

To answer this question we will have to understand the nature of \sqrt{8}.

\sqrt{8} can be rewritten as: \sqrt{2\times 2\times 2} =2\sqrt{2}. Now, \sqrt{2} is an irrational number and thus any of the four operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction or division placed anywhere between any of these terms will always result in an irrational number.

The only way irrational numbers can be made rational is by dividing or multiplying the given irrational number by the same irrational number.

A whole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is less than 50. This can be written in an ineq
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the numbers are;

A whole number value = 2 × Another number + 6

The sum of the two numbers is less than 50

Given that the first number is equal to more than twice the second number, we have that the first number is the larger number, while the second number is the smaller number

Where 'x' represents the second number, we get;

x + 2·x + 6 < 50

Simplifying gives;

3·x + 6 < 50

x < (50 - 6)/3 = 14.\overline 6

x < 14.\overline 6

Therefore, the numbers for which the inequality holds true are numbers less than 14.\overline 6. From the given option, the numbers are 13, and 14.

dangina [55]

If three hens lay 3 eggs any 3 days. The number of days that 3 Hens give in 9 eggs is: 9days.

<h3>Number of days that three hens lay 9 eggs</h3>

Given:

3 hens lay 3 eggs in 3 days

First step is to determine the number of egg one hen lay in 3 days

1 hen in 3 days lays 3/3

1 hen in 3 days lays=1 egg

Second step is to determine the number of egg 3 hens lay 1 day

1 hen in 1 day lays 1/3 egg

3 hens in 1day lay=(1×3)/3

3 hens in 1day lay=1 egg

Third step is to determine the number of eggs 3 hens lay in 9 days

3 hens in 9 days lay=(1×9)

3 hens in 9 days lay=9 eggs

Therefore assuming three hens lay 3 eggs any 3 days. The number of days that 3 Hens give in 9 eggs is: 9days.
