Numerals are symbols and figures that are used to denote or represent numbers.

It is false that “for a set of whole numbers, the longest numeral will belong to the largest number”

<h3>How to determine the true statement</h3>

The length of a numeral does not determine the value of the number,

The above statement means that

The whole number with the longest numeral in a set may or may not be the largest.

Take for instance the numbers 8 and 9.

In Roman numerals,

8 is represented with VIII and 9 is represented with IX

The numeral VIII is longer than the numeral IX, but IX is greater than VIII

Hence, the statement is false

2(t+1)=10. need the answer for t I got the rest just can't get t

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: $t=4$

Simplify both sides of the equation

$(2)(t)+(2)(1)=10(Distribute)\\2t+2=10$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$2t+2-2=10-2\\2t=8$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2t}{2} =\frac{8}{2} \\t=4$

What is the constant of proportionality in the table below?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: $\dfrac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

$k=\dfrac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}$

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row, Days = 3

Total Miles = $1\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}$

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

$k=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{3}=\dfrac{6}{5\times3}=\dfrac{2}{5}$

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is $\dfrac{2}{5}$ .

Solve -1 4/5 x= 9. A) 5 B) 1/5 C) -5 D) -1/5

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Express - 1 $\frac{4}{5}$ as an improper fraction, that is

- $\frac{9}{5}$ x = 9 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

- 9x = 45 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = - 5 → C
