7. Ms. Vickory assigned the problem: 8/9-4/6. Three of her students' responses are below. Who completed the problem correctly? What common mistakes did the other two students make?
The three students
Sue- 8/9-4/6=4/3 or 1 1/3
Jim- 8/6 - 4/6 = 48/54 - 36/54= 12/54 or 2/9
Bob- 8/9- 4/6 = 8/54-4/54= 4/54 = 2/27

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jim:  2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9-4/6

48/54-36/54          [Convert each fraction to a common denominator:  54

                              Multiply (8/9)*(6/6)=48/54;  Multiply (4/6)*(9/9) = 36/54]

 48/54-36/54 = 12/54

12/54 can be reduced to 2/9

Jim also has 2/9

Sue- 8/9-4/6=4/3 or 1 1/3:  Sue subtracted both the numerator and denominator.  This is not correct.

Jim- 8/6 - 4/6 = 48/54 - 36/54= 12/54 or 2/9:  Good Job Jim

Bob- 8/9- 4/6 = 8/54-4/54= 4/54 = 2/27:  Bob converted both denominators to 54, but did not multiply the numerators by the same numbers.  Bad Bob.

The average of 7, 20, and X is 20. what is the value of X?

Answers

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

do it in reverse

there are 3 numbers

average is 20

that means total is 20 times 3 which is

60

7+20+x=60

27+x=60

x=60-27=

33

Answer:

x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

we find the "average" of a data set by adding all of the numbers in the data set together, and then dividing by the number of numbers/values present

for example,

the average of 2 and 20

2 + 20 = 22

(there are two numbers, so we divide by 2)

22 / 2 = 11

so, this example has an average of 11

we can apply the same logic to a variable:

we know that

[tex]\frac{20+7+x}{3}[/tex]  = 20

We can now solve for x:

[tex]\frac{20+7+x}{3}[/tex] = 20  

 · 3          ·3      {multiply both sides by 3}

20 + 7 + x = 60  {combine like terms}

27 + x = 60  {subtract 27 from both sides to isolate x}

x  = 33

{check answer:
7 + 20 + 33 = 60

60 / 3 = 20      (divided by 3 because we have 3 numbers) }

so, the value of x is 33

(x = 33)

you could also simplify the ratio by putting it into fractional form and dividing both sides by 4 to get 23/36, so for every 23 cats there are 36 dogs, and for ever 36 dogs, there are 23 cats. this is the simplest form of the ratio

The exponent is positive and equals the number of spaces to the left of the original decimal point.   When expressed in scientific notation, a negative exponent. The exponent's value is equal to how many places to the right the decimal has been pushed.

A mixed number in simplest form, in the box is 40  5/8 cm^3.

We have given that,

The figure contains a right rectangular prism. The length of the prism is labeled 6 and one-half centimeters, the width is labeled 2 and one-half centimeters, and the height is labeled 2 and one-half centimeters.

What is the volume of the prism?

The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.

length = 6 .5cm

width  =  2.5cm

height  =  2.5cm

If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get

volume = 6.5cm x 2.5cm x 2.5 cm.

Without a calculator first, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

6 .5=13/2

2.5 = 5/2

Volume = 13/2  x 5/2   x 5/2

When you multiply everything together you should get.

As a mixed number, that would be 40 5/8.

Use the drawing tools to sketch the graph of a rational function with a domain of { x | x ∈ R , x ≠ - 5 , 4 } . Include one removable discontinuity and one nonremovable discontinuity. Label each discontinuity using the text tool.

Answers

If [tex]f(x)[/tex] has a removable discontinuity at [tex]x=a[/tex], then the limit

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x)}{x-a}[/tex]

exists and is finite.

A non-removable discontinuity at [tex]x=b[/tex] would entail a non-finite limit,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to b} \frac{f(x)}{x-b} = \pm\infty[/tex]

or the limit does not exist (which could be due to the limits from either side of [tex]x=b[/tex] not matching or existing).

For a rational function, we want

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{p(x)}{q(x)}[/tex]

where [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] are polynomials in [tex]x[/tex]. To get a removable discontinuity at [tex]x=a[/tex], both [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] must be divisible by [tex]x-a[/tex], and the limit of their quotient after removing these factors still exists. That is,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} = \lim_{x\to a}  \frac{(x-a)p^*(x)}{(x-a)q^*(x)} = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{p^*(x)}{q^*(x)} = \frac{p^*(a)}{q^*(a)}[/tex]

On the flip side, we get a non-removable discontinuity [tex]x=b[/tex] if [tex]p[/tex] is not divisible by [tex]x-b[/tex], in which case

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to b} f(x) = \lim_{x\to b} \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} = \lim_{x\to b}  \frac{p(x)}{(x-b)q^*(x)} = \frac{p(b)}{0\times q^*(b)}[/tex]

and this is undefined.

Suppose [tex]f(x)[/tex] has a non-removable discontinuity at [tex]x=-5[/tex] and a removable one at [tex]x=4[/tex]. Then one such function could be

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x-4}{(x-4)(x+5)} = \dfrac{x-4}{x^2+x-20}[/tex]
