Find four fractions between 1/10 and 1/8
Alex17521 [72]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:

  1/8.4 = 5/42

  1/8.8 = 5/44

  1/9.2 = 5/46

  1/9.6 = 5/48

__

<em>Check</em>

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 5/42 ≈ 0.119
  • 5/44 ≈ 0.114
  • 5/46 ≈ 0.109
  • 5/48 ≈ 0.104
  • 1/10 = 0.100

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

__

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.

How did the temperature change if :
Mkey [24]
<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05

Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20

Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26

This is a net increase of 26%

Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.

----------------

An example:

Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)

An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C

A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C

The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
