Four people share 2/3 pounds of peanuts equally.What fraction of a pound of peanuts does each person receive

Mathematics

Answer: 1/6 of a pound.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide 2/3 pounds by 4 people. To do this, multiply  2/3 by 4's reciprocal, which is 1/4. The reciprocal of a number is basically the reverse form of that number. 4 as a fraction is 4/1. The reciprocal of that would be 1/4. Hopefully you understand.

2/3 times 1/4 is 2/12. Simplify by dividing 2/12 by 2 and 12's greatest common factor: 2. 2 divided by 2 is 1; 12 divided by 2 is 6. Your final answer is 1/6.

Compare the function ƒ(x) = –x2 + 4x – 5 and the function g(x), whose graph is shown. Which function has a greater absolute maxi
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Answer C:  g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a graphing calculator to graph f(x) = -x^2 + 4x - 5, and by doing so I immedately saw that the vertex of f(x) is at (2, -1).

The absolute max of g(x) is approximately (3.25, 6.1).

The absolute max of f(x) is approximately (2, -1).

Since the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of g(x) is greater than the y-coordinate of the absolute maximum of f(x), we conclude that Answer C is correct:  g(x) has the greater absolute maximum

Question 9 Annabelle lives at Bermondsey in London. She has to speak at a conference in Birmingham at 10.30am. It will take her
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

working backwards

the five minute walk

10:30 - 0:05 = 10:25

train ride to Birmingham

10:25 - 1:10 = 9:15

Next earliest train departure time

9:05

Getting to Euston Station

9:05 - 1:00 = 8:05 am

Probably wise to leave a couple of minutes earlier to allow for minor emergencies on the way to Euston Station or to account for potential clock synchronization errors.

The train schedule already allows an additional 10 minutes of buffer time after boarding.
