Simplify the following expression, 3/8 divided by 1/4

Answers

Answer 1
The correct answer is 1.5 in decimal form but in fraction form it’s 3/2
Answer 2

The required simplified product is 3/2.

Given that fractions  3/8 ÷ 1/4.

To divide two fractions by multiplying the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Let a, b, c and d be any real numbers. Consider a/b ÷ c/d that gives

[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]  ÷  [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex].

That implies, [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  ÷  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{4}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

Hence, the required simplified product is 3/2.

The Farmers Market sells apples by the bushel, and each bushel of apples weighs 42 lbs. A bushel of large apples contains 84 apples. If a bushel of small apples contains twice as many apples as a bushel of large apples, how many small apples are in 1 lb of apples?

Answers

Answer:

There are 4 small apples in 1 lb of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you know that a bushel of small apples contains twice as many apples as a bushel of large apples. So, in order to know the amount of apples in a bushel of small apples you have to multiply the number of apples in a bushel of large apples by two:

84*2=168

Now, you can use a rule of three to find the number of small apples in 1 lb of apples given that you know that each bushel of apples that has 168 small apples weighs 42 lbs:

168 apples → 42 lbs

       x         ←    1 lb

x=(168*1)/42= 4

According to this, the answer is that there are 4 small apples in 1 lb of apples.

4 small apples in 1lb of apples I think

A faucet drips 2/5 gallon of water in 3 1/2 hours. What is the unit rate of water dripped per hour?

Answers

Answer: Unit rate = 4/35 of a gallon per hour

=============================================

Work Shown:

3 & 1/2 = 3 + 1/2

3 & 1/2 = 6/2 + 1/2

3 & 1/2 = (6+1)/2

3 & 1/2 = 7/2

The faucet drips 2/5 of a gallon in 7/2 hours

2/5 gallon : 7/2 hours

2*(2/5 gallon) : 2*(7/2 hours) ..... multiply both sides by 2

4/5 gallon : 7 hours

(1/7)*(4/5 gallon) : (1/7)*(7 hours) ... multiply both sides by 1/7

4/35 gallon : 1 hour

The unit rate is 4/35 of a gallon per hour.

"Per hour" means "every 1 hour".

What is the average rate of change of f over the interval [1, 6]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex] This is the formula for the average rate of change

over the interval (a, b)

a and b are x values

f(a) ad f(b) think of them as y values

Start calculating f(a) and f(b) a=1 b=6

replace all x's in formula with a, (1)

f(1)=1³-9(1) = 1-9= -8    f(1) = -8

Now do : b (6)

f(6) = 6³ - 9 (6) = 216-54=162 f(6) = 162

now plug everything into your equation

[tex]\frac{f(6)-f(1)}{6-1} =\frac{162- (-8)}{5} =\frac{170}{5} =34[/tex] average rate of change.

notice the 162 - (-8) In math there is no subtraction, and you would change it to + and when you do that you much change the sign of the next value making -8 a +8.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

The graph shows the cost C in dollars of W pounds of blueberries a proportional relationship. select all the true statements
A 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75
B 2.75 pounds of blueberries cost $1
C 5pounds of blueberries cost $15
D 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33
E The point (3,9) is on the graph of the proportional relationship

Answers

Answer:

A, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost ($) = C

lbs (Blueberries) = W

One pound of blueberries costs $2.75 because to find how much 1 lb is you need to divide by 6.

6 is the number of pounds at that point in the graph, so you divide both the pounds and cost by 6 to find how much 1 lb is.

To find how much 5 lbs costs, multiply both the cost and number of pounds ($2.75 to 1 lb) by 5.

2.75 * 5 is 13.75 (This means C is wrong)

Do the same but with 12 for D

2.75 * 12 is 33, so D is correct

You could do the same method as above for E, but the easier way to do this is to see that the relationship of 3:9 is equal to a 1:3 ratio, which is the same as what the pounds to cost ratio is (which is 1:2.75)

Hope this helps! ^_^

A linear graph is represented by a straight line

The true options are:

A. 1 pound of blueberries cost $2.75 D. 12 pounds of blueberries cost $33

The points on the graph are:

[tex]\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (6,16.50)}[/tex]

The slope (m) of the graph is:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50 - 0}{6-0}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{16.50}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = 2.75}[/tex]

The above means that: 1 pound of blueberries costs $2.75

Hence, (a) is true, and (b) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 5, to get the cost of 5 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(5) = 2.75 \times 5=13.75}[/tex]

This means that: (c) is false

Multiply 2.75 by 12, to get the cost of 12 blueberries

[tex]\mathbf{C(12) = 2.75 \times 12=33}[/tex]

This means that: (d) is true

(e) is false, because:

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{9}{3} \ne 2.75}[/tex]

Hence, the true options are: (a) and (d)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

and take line in right side

The solution of the inequality 2x - (3 – x) > x + 1 is the values greater than 2. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

The given inequality is 2x - (3 – x) > x + 1.

What is the solution of the inequality?

A solution for an inequality in x is a number such that when we substitute that number for x we have a true statement.

Now, 2x - (3 – x) > x + 1 can be solved as follows:

2x -3+x>x+1 (Simplify the bracket)

⇒3x-3>x+1

Subtract x on both the sides of the inequality.

That is, 3x-3-x>x+1-x

⇒2x-3>1

Add 3 on both the sides of the inequality.

That is, 2x>4

Divide 2 on both the sides of the inequality.

That is, 2x÷2>4÷2

⇒ x > 2

The solution of the inequality 2x - (3 – x) > x + 1 is the values greater than 2. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

A random sample of 17 hotels in Boston had an average nightly room rate of $165.40 with a sample standard deviation of $21.70. The critical value for a 98% confidence interval around this sample mean is ________.

Answers

Answer:

153.158 ; 177.642

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Sample mean (m) = 165.40

Sample standard deviation (s) = 21.70

Sample size (n) = 17

α = 98%

Confidence interval = m ± z(SE)

z at 98% = 2.326

SE = s/√n

SE = 21.70/√17 = 5.2630230

Hence,

Confidence interval = 165.40 ± 2.326(5.2630230)

165.40 - 12.241791498 OR 165.40 + 12.241791498

the pattern is that the number of squares increases everytime by the stage number it is. for example stage 2 has 3 squares. to find stage 3 you start off with 3 squares (from stage 2), and add the stage number (stage 3). 3+3=6 so stage 3 has 6 squares.
