Which fraction is less than 1/2 a.3/8 b.5/8 c.5/7 d.9/16

Answers

Answer 1
3/8 because half of 8 would be 4/8
Answer 2
You would find it much easier to compare these fractions if you'd work with a common denominator.  In this problem the common denominator is 16 (actually, the LCD is 16*7, or 112, but let's continue anyway):

Then we'll be working with 8/16:   a.6/16 b.10/16 c.5/7 d.9/16, instead of with 1/2 a.3/8 b.5/8 c.5/7 d.9/16.

Which fraction is less than 1/2?  Ask yourself:  which fraction is less than 8/16?  Only (a) satisfies this:  6/16, or 3/8, is smaller than 1/2.

Answer: seconds

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

With conversion fractions, the denominator unit is always what you want to cancel out. In this case, we want to cancel out "seconds" because we want to effectively replace "seconds" with "minutes" (which is what conversions are really). The numerator is the unit we want to convert to. Take care to note that sometimes you'll need multiple conversions, and sometimes it's not going to involve one conversion fraction only.

Round $8.0443 to the nearest cent

Answers

$8.04 because the four is rounding down, therefore it should be $8.04. 

I hope this helps. 

To round $8.0443 to the nearest cent, we leave the second decimal at 4, since the third decimal is also a 4, resulting in $8.04

To round $8.0443 to the nearest cent, you need to look at the third decimal place, which is a '4'. Since we are rounding to the nearest cent, we only keep two decimal places. If the third decimal place is 5 or more, we would round up the second decimal place. However, because it is 4, we do not round up. Therefore, $8.0443 rounded to the nearest cent is $8.04

what is the cost of painting the walls and ceiling of a room with walls 30 foot by 25 foot by 1st foot with paint that covers at $9.50 per square yard, allowing for 1275 square feet for doors, windows, and baseboards?

Answers

what I can make out is, check the picture, that'd be the dimensions of the room.

therefore, the surface area of that room is

2 10x25 rectangles, front and back

2 30x10 rectangles, left and right

and 2 25x30 rectangles, top and bottom

so the area will be (2*10*25) + (2*30*10) + (2*25*30), which gives us  2600 square feet though, not yards.

let's add the doors, windows and others which is 1275, so 2600 + 1275, that gives us 3875 square feet.

now, the paint is 9.5 for square yard, no feet, so let's do some conversion then,

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ll} yards&feet\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 1yd&3ft\\ (1yd)^2&(3ft)^2\\ yd^2&3^2ft^2\\ &9ft^2 \end{array}[/tex]

so, if there are 9 square feet in one square yard, how many square yards are there in 3875 square feet?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} yd^2&ft^2\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 1&9\\ x&3875 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{9}{3875}\implies \cfrac{3875}{9}=x[/tex]

that's how many yd² are there in 3875 ft².

now, we know for every yd², is $9.50, so then the cost will be 

[tex]\bf 9.5\cdot \cfrac{3875}{9}\implies \cfrac{95}{10}\cdot \cfrac{3875}{9}\implies \cfrac{73625}{18}~~\approx~~ \stackrel{\$}{4090.2778}[/tex]

Write an equation of four lines that intersect to form the sides of a parallelogram

Answers

To write equations for four lines forming a parallelogram, we use the slope-intercept form ensuring two sets of parallel lines. Opposite lines have equal slopes and by manipulating the y-intercepts, we ensure they intersect appropriately to form a parallelogram.

Writing an equation for four lines that intersect to form the sides of a parallelogram involves ensuring that opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. One straightforward approach is to use the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, to define the lines.

Let's start by defining two lines with slopes 'm' and 'm' (since opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel) and two lines with slopes '-1/m' to ensure they are also parallel to each other but perpendicular to the first set of lines. If we assume lines have y-intercepts at 'b' and '-b' respectively (to ensure symmetry and simplify calculations), our equations would be:

y = mx + b (Line 1)y = mx - b (Line 2) - Parallel to Line 1y = (-1/m)x + k (Line 3) - Perpendicular to Line 1y = (-1/m)x + l (Line 4) - Parallel to Line 3

Here, m represents the slope of the first set of parallel lines, b represents the y-intercept of line 1, -b represents the y-intercept of line 2, and k and l are the y-intercepts of lines 3 and 4. By adjusting 'b', 'k', and 'l' we ensure the lines intersect to form a parallelogram.

These lines will form a parallelogram as long as 'k' and 'l' are chosen such that the distances between the y-intercepts of lines 1 and 2, and lines 3 and 4, are equal, satisfying the condition for parallel lines in a parallelogram. This way, we can visually imagine or draw a parallelogram with these four lines as its sides.

Give the numerical value of n corresponding to 5d.

Answers

I need more info to work with

Final answer:

The numerical value of n for the 5d orbitals is 5, which indicates that the d subshell in question is located in the fifth principal energy level of an atom.

Explanation:

The numerical value of n corresponding to the 5d orbitals is 5. In the context of atomic and quantum physics, the principal quantum number, denoted as n, signifies the principal electronic shell of an atom. Since the question refers to 5d, it means we are discussing the d subshell in the fifth principal energy level (n=5).

For a d subshell, which is represented by the azimuthal quantum number (l) having a value of 2, the first principal shell where a d subshell appears is when n=3. Therefore, the 5d subshell is present in the fifth principal energy level. As for the ml values of the d orbitals, which represent the magnetic quantum number, they can be -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 for any d subshell.

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the angle between the observer's line-of-sight and the horizontal is π/3 , and it is changing at a rate of 0.1 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at this moment?

Answers

check the picture below.

notice, the "x" distance, whilst the balloons are moving up up and up, is not changing, thus, is a constant.

[tex]\bf \cfrac{3\cdot \frac{d\theta }{dt}}{cos^2(\theta )}=\cfrac{dy}{dt}\quad \begin{cases} \frac{d\theta }{dt}=0.1\\\\ \theta =\frac{\pi }{3} \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 0.1}{cos^2\left( \frac{\pi }{3} \right)}=\cfrac{dy}{dt}\implies \cfrac{0.3}{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2}=\cfrac{dy}{dt} \\\\\\ \cfrac{0.3}{\frac{1}{4}}=\cfrac{dy}{dt}\implies \stackrel{rad/min}{1.2}=\cfrac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

The observer and the balloon form a right triangle (see attachment).

The balloon is rising at 1.2 rad per min

Using tangent rule, we have:

Substitute 3 for x

[tex]\mathbf{tan(\theta) = \frac{y}{3}}[/tex]

Differentiate both sides with respect to time (t)

[tex]\mathbf{sec^2(\theta) \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{dy}{dt}}[/tex]

In the year 2001, a total of 7.2 million passengers took a cruise vacation. The global cruise industry has been growing at 9% per year for the last decade. Assume that this growth rate continues.

How many cruise passengers (in millions) are predicted in the year 2002?

Answers

To find the number of passengers for the next year (2002), take the prior value (7.2 million) and multiply it by 1.09. This will give the predicted value for 2002. In this case, it would be (7,200,000 * 1.09 = 7.848 million). This would show that there is a predicted rise of 0.648 million passengers for the year 2002.
Final answer:

To predict the number of cruise passengers in 2002, multiply the growth rate by the previous year's number of passengers and add that to the previous year's total.

Explanation:

To predict the number of cruise passengers in the year 2002, we need to apply the growth rate of 9% to the number of passengers in the previous year (2001).

complete question:

A dentist orders 15 boxes of floss and 20 boxes of toothbrushes each month. Floss is sold 70 to a box and toothbrushes are sold 50 to a box . how many items does the dentist order each month.

Answer:

The dentist orders 1050 number of floss and 1000 number of toothbrushes. The items are 2 different items namely floss and toothbrushes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dentist orders 15 boxes of floss and 20 boxes of toothbrushes each month.

The floss is sold 70 to a box, this means about 70 numbers of floss occupies each box of floss.  To get the total number of floss items in the 15 boxes of floss, we have to multiply the number of boxes of floss by the number of floss present in each box. Mathematically,

70 × 15 = 1050  items of floss

The boxes of toothbrushes is 20 . For each box the number of toothbrushes is 50 . To get the total number of tooth brushes  we multiply the number of boxes by the total number of toothbrushes in each box.

50 × 20 = 1000  items of toothbrushes.

The dentist orders 1050 number of floss and 1000 number of toothbrushes. The items are 2 different items namely floss and toothbrushes.

if f(x)= -6x+6 then f^-1(x)=

Answers

recall that, to get the inverse relation of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcharoo on the variables, then we solve for "y".

[tex]\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=-6x+6\qquad inverse\implies \boxed{x}=-6\boxed{y}+6 \\\\\\ x-6=-6y\implies \cfrac{x-6}{-6}=y\implies -\cfrac{x}{6}+1=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}[/tex]

To find the inverse of f(x) = -6x + 6, swap the variables and solve for y, yielding the inverse function f^-1(x) = 1 - (x/6).

To find the inverse function, f-1(x), of the given function f(x) = -6x + 6, you need to follow a series of steps. First, swap the 'x' and 'y', so it becomes x = -6y + 6. Next, solve this equation for 'y' to find the inverse function. Add 6x to both sides to get x + 6y = 6, then subtract x from both sides to have 6y = 6 - x. Dividing both sides by 6 results in y = 1 - (x/6). Therefore, the inverse function is f-1(x) = 1 - (x/6).

A.) 5/34

B.) 29/5

C.) 34/5

D.) 15/5

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator in the original question is 5.

Therefore the answer must have 5 in the numerator. The answer can only be A.

6 4/5 = (30 + 4) / 5 = 34/5 This is the original fraction. The upside down of the original fraction is the reciprocal. Upside down of 34/5 is 5/34. You can come to this conclusion by doing this.

The formal definition of a reciprocal is 1/a where a is a fraction.

In this case a = 34/5. The reciprocal is 1/a = 1 // 34/5. You don't change anything by making it 1/1 // 34/5

1/1 // (34/5) Invert and multiply the bottom.
