Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this question is asking for an estimate, you have to round 2.8 to the nearest whole number. 2.8 is closer to 3 rather than 2. Since 6 is already a whole, divide 3 by 6, which is 1/2 or 0.5. If you were to solve this problem without estimating, you would get 0.4666666666, which rounds to 0.5, but the question asks for an estimate.

Hope this helps!

2.8 ÷ 6 = 0.4666666.... it will continue
The estimate would be the round off of the Actual answer which would be 0.5 since 0.46666.. is closer to 5

What is the value of f (x)=16^x when x=1/2 ? A. 2 B. 4 C. 8 D. 32

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$a^{\frac{m}{n} }$ ⇔ $\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }$

Given

f(x) = $16^{x}$ , then when x = $\frac{1}{2}$

f( $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $16^{\frac{1}{2} }$ = $\sqrt[2]{16}$ = 4

Gina has 5 2/6 feet of silver ribbon and 2 4/6 of gold ribbon. how much more silver ribbon does gina have than golden ribbon?

MrRissso [65]

To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
