1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
We have been given a polynomial and we are asked to factor our polynomial by double grouping.
First of all we will group terms with common factors. We can see that 
and 2x have a common factor x. Common factor of -3x and -6 is -3.
Now we will factor out Greatest Common Factor from each group.
After factoring out GCF from each group we got (x+2) as our common binomial. Now we will write our polynomial as a product of two binomials as:
Therefore, our polynomial as a product of two binomials will be .
Answer:
411/3 + 388 = 525 -79=446
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the equation: x+(x+20) = 120
Since you can't combine anything yet, its x+x+20=120
You need to get x by itself
Minus 20 from both sides
Its x+x=100 now
Combine the x's which is now 2x
Now divide 100 by 2 which is 50
x=50
---------------
Lets check:
50+(50+20)=120
Now combine the numbers in the parentheses
Its now 50+70=120
50+70=120 and 70-50=20
As you can see, he ran 50 minutes the first day and 70 minutes the second day
Answer:
y = 1/2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solving for y in steps:</u>
- 2x - 4y + 8 + 4y= 4y
- 2x + 8 = 4y
- x + 4 = 2y
- y = x/2 + 4/2
- y = 1/2x + 2
