Here are two fractions 3/10 and 5/7 work out which one is closer to a 1/2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore 3/10 is closer to ½

Step-by-step explanation:

We've to get the difference:

» with 3/10 :

[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{10} = { \boxed{\frac{1}{5} }}[/tex]

» with 5/7

[tex] | \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{7} | = { \boxed{ \frac{3}{14} }}[/tex]

but:

[tex] \frac{3}{14} > \frac{1}{5} [/tex]

Answer 2

Among both the given fractions, the one that is closer to a ½ is 3/10.

What is a fraction?

A number that is stated as a quotient in mathematics, when the numerator and denominator are split in half. Both are integers in a straightforward fraction. In the numerator or denominator of a complex fraction is a fraction.

An element of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal pieces, is represented by a fraction. When used in conversational English, a fraction indicates the number of components of a particular size, as in one-half, eight-fifths, and three-quarters.

A fraction is a number that represents a portion of a whole. In order to evaluate it, a whole is divided into a number of components.  A correct fraction has a numerator that is lower than its denominator.

Required calculations are done with both the fractions,

1/2 - 3/10 = 1/5

1/2 - 5/7 = 3/14

3/14 ≥ 1/5

Therefore, among both the given fractions, the one that is closer to a ½ is 3/10.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

Required

The maximum and minimum of z

To do this, we make use of the graphical method

See attachment for graphs of

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

[tex]y \le 2x +3[/tex]

[tex]y \le -1[/tex]

The corner points of the function are:

[tex](x,y) = (-1,1)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (-1,-1)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]z = 4x + 5y[/tex]

Calculate z with  the above values

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(1) = 1[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(0) = -4[/tex]

[tex]z = 4(-1) + 5(-1) = -9[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Max\ z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Min\ z = -9[/tex]

A plank 6m long leans against a vertical wall so that the foot of the plank is 4m away from the wall. A lizard climbs 2m up the plank. Calculate the horizontal distance between the lizard and the wall.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{8}{3}\ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the plank is [tex]6\ m[/tex]

Foot of the flank is [tex]4\ m[/tex] away from the wall

Lizard climbs 2 m up the wall

from the figure, the two triangles are similar

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{2}{6}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4\times \dfrac{2}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4}{3}\ m[/tex]

So, the distance from the wall is

[tex]\Rightarrow 4-x\\\\\Rightarrow 4-\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{3}\ m[/tex]

Find m/ELM if m/ELM = 15x - 1, m/KLE = 20°, and m/KLM = 17x - 1.​

Answers

Answer:

∠ ELM = 149°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ KLM = ∠ KLE + ∠ ELM  , substitute values

17x - 1 = 20 + 15x - 1

17x - 1 = 15x + 19 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 19 ( add 1 to both sides  )

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10

Then

∠ ELM = 15x - 1 = 15(10) - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149°

Answers

Answer:

39°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to 115° in the lower triangle = 180° - 115° = 65°

angle on circle in lower triangle

= 180° - (65 + 76)°  ← angle sum in triangle

= 180° - 141° = 39°

Angles on the circle subtended from the same arc are congruent, then

Answers

Answer:

a) 30

b)600pi

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first questions, since the arc is 240°, the area of the sector and circumference will be 240/360 or 2/3 of the total of the circles'. Therefore 125.6 x 3/2 is the circumference, which is 188.4. When we divide this by 6.28, we get 30

Now, since the area is pi r^2 where we know that r=30, we get 900pi as the area of the whole thing, however since the sector is 2/3 of the whole circle, 2/3 x 900pi = 600pi

Answers

The image of this question is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, let's denote the following;

d = horizontal distance beneath pulley

h = height of pulley

l = diagonal from the pulley to the head of the person

v = velocity of rope rising

Using pythagoras theorem;

l² = d² + h²

Differentiating with respect to time and considering h = c^(te) gives;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

We are given;

d = 20 ft

h = 10 ft

v = 4 ft/s

We know that velocity in this case is change in diagonal distance with time. Thus;

v = dl/dt = 4 ft/s

From earlier, we saw that;

2l(dl/dt) = 2d(dd/dt)

Thus, reducing it gives

(dl/dt)(l/d) = dd/dt

Now, l² = d² + h²

l = √(d² + h²)

Also, v = dl/dt = 4

Thus;

4(√(d² + h²))/d = dd/dt

4(√(20² + 10²))/20 = dd/dt

dd/dt = 4.47 ft/s

A box contains a yellow ball, an orange ball, a green ball, and a blue ball. Billy randomly selects 4 balls from the box (with replacement). What is the expected value for the number of distinct colored balls Billy will select?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Expected = 0.09375[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Balls = 4[/tex]

[tex]n = 4[/tex] --- selection

Required

The expected distinct colored balls

The probability of selecting one of the 4 balls is:

[tex]P = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The probability of selecting different balls in each selection is:

[tex]Pr = (\frac{1}{4})^n[/tex]

Substitute 4 for n

[tex]Pr = (\frac{1}{4})^4[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{1}{256}[/tex]

The number of arrangement of the 4 balls is:

[tex]Arrangement = 4![/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Arrangement = 4*3*2*1[/tex]

[tex]Arrangement = 24[/tex]

The expected number of distinct color is:

[tex]Expected = Arrangement * Pr[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 24 * \frac{1}{256}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = \frac{3}{32}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.09375[/tex]

There is 10% salt solution and a 30% salt solution. How much of each is needed to make 10L mixture that is 25% salt solution?

Answers

Answer:

2.5L of 10% salt solution and 7.5L of the 30% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of L in the 10% solution be 'x'

let the amount of L in the 30% solution be '10-x'

* because they add up to a total of 10L

10%(x) + 30%(10-x) = 25%(10)

0.1x + 3 - 0.3x = 2.5

-0.2x = -0.5

x = 2.5

x =2.5

10-x = 7.5

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equatio 2x - 5 = - 3x ^ 2

Answers

alright I can help!

so to find the two values of x that are roots of the equation we need to put the variables all on one side so that we can set up the quadratic formula.

3x^2+2x-5=0 (the -3x^2 becomes positive when moved across the equal sign)

now we can set up the quadratic formula. the equation is x= (-b+-(sqrt of b^2 -4ac))/ 2a

so now we just plug in our variables.

x= (-2+-(sqrt of 2^2 -4×3×-5))/ 2×3

x= (-2+-8)/6

now we just seperate the equations so that we have the two roots. and then just solve!

x= (-2-8)/6 -> x= -5/3

x= (-2+8)/6 -> x=1

hope this helps! best wishes and best of luck!!
