Answer:

Sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example 1/2 / 1/4 = 2

but 1/4 / 1/2 = 1/2.

Answer: Sometimes

Explanation:

Quotient greater than 1:

3/4 divide by 2/3
= 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8 > 1

4/5 divide by 2/5
= 4/5 x 5/2 = 2 > 1

Quotient less than 1

1/100 divide by 2/10
= 1/100 x 10/2 = 1/20 < 1

1/50 divide by 1/25
= 1/50 x 25/1 = 1/2 < 1

Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his back yard each year. This year there were 500 leaves. Each year

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Leaves on tree this year (a) = 500

Rate of increase in leaves per year (r) = 40 % or 0.4

Let n be the number of years.

So we use exponential growth formula, i.e.

f(n) = a(1+r)^n

by putting the value, we get

f(n) = 500 ( 1+0.4)^n

or f(n) = 500 (1.4)^n

So, the common ration is 1.4.

Thus, it shows a geometric sequence.

A coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15. There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dim

valentinak56 [21]

45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

Solution:

Let "n" be the number of nickels

Let "d" be the number of dimes

We know that,

value of 1 nickel = $ 0.05

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

Given that There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dimes

Number of nickels = 3 + 2(number of dimes)

n = 3 + 2d ---- eqn 1

Also given that coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15

number of nickels x value of 1 nickel + number of dimes x value of 1 dime = 9.15

$n \times 0.05 + d \times 0.10 = 9.15$

0.05n + 0.10d = 9.15 ---- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.05(3 + 2d) + 0.10d = 9.15

0.15 + 0.1d + 0.10d = 9.15

0.2d = 9

From eqn 1

n = 3 + 2(45)

n = 3 + 90 = 93

Thus 45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

Which basic geometric figure is labeled with either one capital letter or three capital letters?

tester [92]

Answer-

An angle is labeled with either one capital letter or three capital letters

Solution-

Point-

As a point is 0 dimensional, so you just need 1 point to define a point.

Line-

As a line is 1 dimensional,so you need 2 points to define a line.

Plane-

A plane is 2 0r 3 dimensional, so you need 3 points to define a plane.

Angle-

An angle measures the amount of turn. An angles is labeled with a single letter at the vertex, as long as it is perfectly clear that there is only one angle at this vertex. Otherwise, it is named according to the intersecting lines with 3 letters.

A student wants to construct the inscribed circle of a triangle. What is the first step he/she should take?

pantera1 [17]

The correct answer is:

d) Construct the angle bisector of each angle in the triangle

Explanation:

The incenter, or center of an inscribed circle, is the point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. This means the first thing we will need to construct is the bisector of each angle of the triangle.
