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]
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.

Guys please help me solve this I’m struggling
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.
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]

The students in Shawn's class got to choose whether to visit the zoo or the aquarium. 3 students went to the zoo and 15 students went to the aquarium. What is the ratio of the number of students who went to the zoo to the number of students who did not go to the zoo?
A. 1:6
B. 1:1
C. 1:3
D. 1:5
Answer:
either it's 1:3 or 1:6
Step-by-step explanation:
3 students went to the zoo, and 15 students went to the aquarium.
15 plus 3 is 18.
3/18 then reduces to 1/6
therefore it is:
1:6

Find m/ELM if m/ELM = 15x - 1, m/KLE = 20°, and m/KLM = 17x - 1.
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°
find the shaded area ..
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
shaded angle = 39°

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

A person walks away from a pulley pulling a rope slung over it. The rope is being held at a height 10 feet below the pulley. Suppose that the weight at the opposite end of the rope is rising at 4 feet per second. At what rate is the person walking when s/he is 20 feet from being directly under the pulley
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?
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]

Mr. Ellington has a total of 32 students in his class , The ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, how many girls are in Mr . Ellington's class ?
Add the ratio: 3 + 5 = 8
Divide total students by that:
32/8 = 4
The ratio for girls is 3, multiply the 4 by 3:
4 x 3 = 12
There are 12 girls
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, that means that for every 8 total students, 3 would be girls and 5 would be boys. Therefore 3/8 of the students are girls and 5/8 are boys. If 3/8 are girls, then:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of 32
= [tex]\frac{3}{8} * 32[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3 * 32}{8} \\= \frac{96}{8} \\= 12[/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?
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
2.5 of 10% solution and 7.5% of 30% solution

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