Answer: A, The line starts at 9 and ends at 29
So basically when you are adding or subtracting fractions the denominators the number on the bottom of the fraction 12 in this case and 8 as well the two denominators sharing the least common multiple so what is the lowest multiple of 12 and 8 so count off 12: 12, 24, 36... 8: 8, 16 , 24 does that help?
Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).
Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...
... 30 -2x = 0
... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2
... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x
The price of each loaf will be zero when ...
... 2.50 +0.50x = 0
... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2
... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5
Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.
_____
D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.
From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
