Two fractions are given. For each one, write its decimal equivalent and determine if the decimal is terminating or non terminati

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

9/20 yes, 4/15 not. See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick 9/20 and multiply numerator and denominator by 5:

9/20 = 45/100

We know that if we divide a number by 100 we need to move the coma as two places left, so:

9/20 = 45/100 = 0.45

And this is a terminal decimal as we know where it ends.

On the other hand if we pick 4/15 let try to divide it (here I will do it 'manually'):

4 |_ 15

we can divide 4 by 15, so we use 40 and begin with a comma

40 |_ 15

0.

15 enters 2 times in 40 with a rest of 10, so:

40 |_ 15

30 0.2

100

100 divided by 15 is 6 and we have 10 as rest again, and again and again...

40 |_ 15

30 0.266.....

100

100

....

So, we will have 0.266666666666666 infinitely. The decimal for 4/15 is non terminating and is 0.26666666666666666...

Hannah was adding 5 plus -4. When explaining her work she said that the sum is 9 because you add the numbers and take the sign o

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The sum is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add a negative number to a positive number, it is basically just subtracting the negative from the positive. To make it simple, 5 + -4 is just 5 - 4.

Hannah was wrong in saying you take the sign of the larger number because it would not matter if the first number was a million, the signs don't change based on the size of numbers.

A baseball team has 4 pitchers, who only pitch, and 16 other players, all of whom can play any position other than pitcher. F

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

First 8 batters

8 players from a set of 16. So

$P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400$

Last batter:

Any of the four pitchers.

How many different batting orders may occur?

4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
