Write a fraction that is less than 1/3 using 1 as the numerator. EXPLAIN why you chose that answer.​

Answers

Answer 1
1/4 would be the answer because when you have 1/3, you would only have 3 parts to get a whole, but in 1/4, you would have 4 parts to get a whole.
Answer 2

A fraction which is less than 1/3 is 1/6

How to find quantities which are less than a given quantity?

We can lessen a quantity if we take out some positive part from it.

Thus, suppose if it is given that there are 'T' things, then a quantity which is less than 'T' would be 'T - S'

where S is something positive.

(there can be infinite number of values less than a specific finite value, and similarly, there can be infinite number of values more than a specific finite value).

For the given case, the fraction given is 1/3

Let a fraction which is less than it be denoted by F

Then,

[tex]F < 1/3\\F = \dfrac{1}{3} - S[/tex]

Let S = 1/6

Then, we get value of F as:

[tex]F = \dfrac{1}{3}- \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{2 - 1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{6}\\[/tex]


Thus, 1/6 is a fraction which is less than the given fraction 1/3

The graph represents the height y, in feet, above the ground of a water balloon x seconds after it is dropped from a window.



Which statement is true?

Select each correct answer.




The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.

The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.

The water balloon hits the ground in 64 s.

The water balloon rises above 64 ft before falling toward the ground.

The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

Answers

Answer:

O The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.    

O The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.    

O The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, by simply looking at the x axis on the graph (time), you will see that it starts at 0 and the 64 ft maximum height is aligned with the starting point of 0 seconds.  

The graph also shows (x axis) the 'time' represented, and as the height rapidly decreases the graph eventually reaches the 2 second mark, going no further and no lower.  

Finally, the graph shows (y axis) the peak of the water balloon's height is 64 ft, as it is the highest number reached while the water balloon was airborne.

The following statement is True.

The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

A true statement to be chosen from the following.

What is a graph?

The graph is a demonstration of curves  that gives the relationship between the x and y-axis.

From the graph, the following points are to be noted.
The water balloon is at 64 ft at x = 0.
The water balloon takes 2 sec to reach y = 0.
The water balloon has a maximum height of x = 0.

Thus, points 1,2, and 5 are true.

A local insurance agent visits the high school and tells the students that his insurance company will give students a 7% discount on liability insurance, PIP. comprehensive insurance, and collision insurance for three years if they take a defensive driving course. Maria spends $1,437.00 on her auto insurance annually.

Answers

The question is vague, but I'll try and help.

Answer:

She saves $100.59 a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Saving 7% of $1,437.00 each year.

7% of $1,437.00 (0.07 x $1,437.00) = $100.59

If it asks how much she saves over a certain number of years, just multiply 100.59 times how many years it asks for. Hope this helps.

The required, if Maria takes the defensive driving course and receives the 7% discount on her auto insurance, she will save a total of $301.77 over three years.

What is the investment?

Investment is defined as when an individual spends money on something that returns him or her higher money than the money they invested.

Here,
If Maria spends $1,437.00 on her auto insurance annually and she takes the defensive driving course, she will get a 7% discount on her liability insurance, PIP, comprehensive insurance, and collision insurance for three years.

To calculate the amount of the discount, we first need to find 7% of $1,437.00:

Discount = 0.07 × $1,437.00 = $100.59

So, the amount of the discount that Maria will receive annually is $100.59.

To find the total savings over three years, we multiply the annual discount by three:

Total savings = $100.59 × 3 = $301.77

Therefore, if Maria takes the defensive driving course and receives the 7% discount on her auto insurance, she will save a total of $301.77 over three years.

Sharon runs a screen-printing business. To print T-shirts each day, it costs her $200 in labor plus $5 per T-shirt for materials. Her income is $15 for each T-shirt she sells. How many T-shirts does Sharon need to sell each day in order for her costs to equal her income for that day?


(i mainly need the equation for this problem)

Answers

Answer:

Equation: 15n = 200 + 5n

Number of T-shirts: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an expression for the costs for 1 day for making n number of T-shirts and an expression for the income for 1 day for selling n number of T-shirts. Then we set the expressions equal and solve for n, the number of T-shirts.

Expenses in 1 day:

The expenses are a fixed cost of $200 plus the cost per T-shirt.

$200 plus $5 per T-shirt

We need an expression for the cost per T-shirt in terms of n, the number of T-shirts.

If she makes 1 T-shirt, she spends $5 * 1.

If she makes 2 T-shirts, she spends $5 * 2.

If she makes n T-shirts, she spends $5 * n, or simply 5n.

Her total costs for a day are:

200 + 5n

Income in 1 day:

All the income comes from selling T-shirts.

She sells 1 T-shirt for $15 * 1.

She sells 2 T-shirts for $15 * 2.

She sells n T-shirts for $15 * n, or simply 15n

Her total income for 1 day is:

15n

Now we set the costs equal to the income and solve for n.

15n = 200 + 5n           <---------   here is the equation you need

Subtract 5n from both sides.

10n = 200

Divide both sides by 10.

n = 20

Answer: She needs to sell 20 T-shirts.

B- 7/8 times 2

This is the correct answer because if you look at the model, it shows 2 blocks of 1, and then 8 blocks of 1/4, which both equal 2, and the model does not say anything about the top row, only the bottom, and after process of elimination, you would be left with 1/4 times 8

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 2.7%?

Answers

Multiplying by 1 keeps it the same. A number greater than 1 would be an increase and a number below 1 would be a decrease.

The decrease is 2.7% which is written as 0.027 as a decimal.

Subtract that from 1:

1 - 0.027 = 0.973

The multiplier would be 0.973

Sam and Larry’s Ice Cream Shoppe sells the following sizes of ice cream cones: single at $0.89, double at $1.19; triple at $1.39. One day, Danielle sold 52 ice cream cones. She sold two more than twice as many doubles as triples. If she sold $58.98 in cones, how many of each size did she sell?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

17 singles24 doubles11 triples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s, d, t represent the numbers of singe, double, and triple cones sold. The problem statement tells us three relationships.

  s + d + t = 52 . . . . . . Danielle sold 52 cones one day

       d -2t = 2 . . . . . . . doubles is 2 more than twice the number of triples

  0.89s +1.19d +1.39t = 58.98 . . . . total amount of sales

__

There are many ways to solve this set of equations. A graphing calculator can quickly tell you the solution is ...

  (s, d, t) = (17, 24, 11)

__

If you want to solve this by hand, it may work well to use substitution.

The second equation gives an expression for d:

  d = 2t +2

The first equation gives an expression for s that can be written in terms of t.

  s = 52 -d -t

  s = 52 -(2t +2) -t = 50 -3t

Using these in the last equation, we have ...

  0.89(50 -3t) +1.19(2t +2) +1.39t = 58.98

  1.10t = 12.10 . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 46.88

  t = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.10

  d = 2(11) +2 = 24

  s = 50 -3(11) = 17

Danielle sold 17 singles, 24 doubles, and 11 triple cones.
