Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.

5 = 5/1

Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.

5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2

***This can be reduced to 5/1***

Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.

5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3

***This can also be reduced to 5/1***

If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.

They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.

A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

I think the answer would be the very first one.

they all need to have '' ( ) '' in them.

if a number is outside of that, it needs to at least have a letter beside the number

here's an example

Factored form:

2x(x + y)

not factored:

2(x - y)

but for the first one, it's correct from the rest of them.

Solve the following equations using any method. Show your work and check your

Gemiola [76]

a) The solution for the equation 2x + 16 = 5x + 4 is x=4.

b) The solution for the equation 3x − 5 = 2x + 14 is x=19.

c) The solution for the equation 5x − 5 = x + 15 is x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The given equation is 2x + 16 = 5x + 4

From the above equation, it can be found that the equation consists of x terms and constant terms.
Therefore, bring all the x terms on one side and the constant terms on other side of the equation.
This gives the simplified form of the equation to solve for x value.

⇒ 16-4 = 5x-2x

⇒ 12 = 3x

⇒ x = 12/3

⇒ x = 4

The solution for the given equation is x=4.

To check, substitute x=4 in the equation :

2(4) + 16 = 5(4) + 4

8+16 = 20+4

24 = 24

Therefore, the solution x=4 satisfies the equation 2x + 16 = 5x + 4

Similarly,

b) The given equation is 3x − 5 = 2x + 14

⇒ 3x-2x = 14+5

⇒ x = 19

The solution for the given equation is x=19.

To check, substitute x=19 in the equation :

3(19) - 5 = 2(19) + 14

57-16 = 38+14

52 = 52

Therefore, the solution x=19 satisfies the equation 3x − 5 = 2x + 14

Similarly,

c) The given equation is 5x − 5 = x + 15

⇒ 5x-x = 15+5

⇒ 4x = 20

⇒ x = 20/4

⇒ x = 5

The solution for the given equation is x=5.

To check, substitute x=5 in the equation :

5(5) - 5 = 5 + 15

25-5 = 20

20 = 20

Therefore, the solution x=5 satisfies the equation 5x − 5 = x + 15

fladli sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 20 if the buyer gets an extended warra

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount earned by Fadil on selling 14 televisions= $1400

Therefore, the amount he earned on selling 1 television= $\frac{1400}{14}=\$100$

Since, he sold televisions with extended warranty and he earns $20 additional for it.

Then, the fixed amount Fadil earns for each television= $\$100-\$20=\$80$

Hence, Fadil earns $80 as the fixed amount for each televison.

A string passing over a smooth pulley carries a stone at one end. While its other end is attached to a vibrating tuning fork and

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

correct option is C) 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

string vibrates form = 8 loops

in water loop formed = 10 loops

solution

we consider mass of stone = m

string length = l

frequency of tuning = f

volume = v

density of stone = $\rho$

case (1)

when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is $\frac{\lambda }{2}$

so here

$l = \frac{8 \lambda _1}{2}$ ..............1

$l = 4 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{4}$

and we know velocity is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength .....................2

$\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{mass\ per\ unit \length }}$ = f × $\lambda_1$

here tension = mg

$\sqrt{\frac{mg}{\mu}}$ = f × $\lambda_1$ ..........................3

and

case (2)

when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is $\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$l = \frac{10 \lambda _1}{2}$ ..............4

$l = 5 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{5}$

when block is immersed

equilibrium eq will be

Tenion + force of buoyancy = mg

T + v × $\rho$ × g = mg

and

T = v × $\rho$ - v × $\rho$ × g

from equation 2

f × $\lambda_2$ = f × $\frac{1}{5}$

$\sqrt{\frac{v\rho _{stone} g - v\rho _{water} g}{\mu}} = f \times \frac{1}{5}$ .......................5

now we divide eq 5 by the eq 3

$\sqrt{\frac{vg (\rho _{stone} - \rho _{water})}{\mu vg \times \rho _{stone}}} = \frac{fl}{5} \times \frac{4}{fl}$

solve irt we get

$1 - \frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{16}{25}$

relative density $\frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{25}{9}$

relative density = 2.78 ≈ 2.8

so correct option is C) 2.8
