Carla wants to know how many batches of birdseed she can make with 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds. She puts 1/6 cup of sunflower seeds in every batch. Carla divides 1/2 by 1/6 to find the answer. She says this is the same as multiplying 1/6 by 2; explain what Carla did wrong and show the correct solution.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

she was wrong because when you divide 1/2 by 1/6 its not the same as multiplying 1/6 by 2 but you do get the same answer its just the wrong equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Carla inverted the numerator when she should have inverted the denominator before multiplying3

Step-by-step explanation:

Any division problem is the same as a multiplication problem with the multiplier being the reciprocal of the denominator. So to divide 1/2 by 1/6, we could multiply 1/2 by (1/(1/6)) = 6/1. The result would be ...

  [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\div\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{6}{1}=\dfrac{6}{2}=\boxed{3}[/tex]

__

Carla's mistake was inverting 1/2 instead of 1/6 in her solution to the problem.

Write the equation of line in slope-intercept form.
Line parallel to y=−2x+3 that passes through the point (−100,−100)

Answers

Answer:  y= -2x - 500  

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. This means that the line parallel to y=-2x + 3 will have the same slope which is -2.

We will input the x and y coordinates for the given point into the formula and solve for the y-intercept to write the equation.

-100 = -2(-100) + b      where b is the y-intercept

-100 = 400 + b

-400  -400  

b = -500  

The y intercept is -500 and the slope is -2 therefore, the equation will be  

 y= -2x - 500

Bao can eat 12 chicken wings in 3 minutes. She eats the chicken wings at a constant rate.
How many chicken wings can Bao eat in 12 minutes?
chicken wings
Stuck?

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

If Bao eats 12 chicken wings in 3 minutes than that will help us find the unit rate by dividing 12 by 3, and then you will get 4. Now that you know the unit rate you will multiply it by 12 and get 48.

Answer:

For this we have to do simple division and multiplication, giving us the answer of 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve this is to first divide 12 by 3, giving us 4, the amount of time it would take for Bao to eat a single chicken nugget. And then since the question asks how many Bao can eat in 12 minutes, you would multiply 4 by 12, thus giving you the answer of 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 3 hours to minutes

1 hours = 60 minutes

3 hours = 180 minutes

Using proportions

20 miles          5 miles

-------------   = ----------------

180 minutes      x minutes

Using cross products

20x = 5* 180

20x =900

Divide each side by 20

20x/20x = 900/20

x =45

45 minutes

Answer: 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: 20 miles in 180 minutes, 5 miles is 1/4 of 20 miles so you divide 180 by 4 which gives you 45

Question 2:

Question 3:
13|-2x+1|-10=159

Answers

Answer:

-|7-2x|+11= -8

x=-6 0r x=13

9-7|-x-3|= -61

x=-13 or x=7

13|-2x+1|-10=159

x=-6 or x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

-|7-2x|+11= -8

-|7-2x|=-8-11

either :

7-2x=-19

-2x=-19-7

x=-26/2

x=13

Or: 7-2x=19

-2x=19-7

-2x=12

x=-12/2

x= - 6

9-7|-x-3|= -61

9−7(|−x−3|)=−61

−7(|−x−3|)=−61-9

−7(|−x−3|)=−70

|-x-3|=-70/-7

|-x-3|=10

either :

-x-3=10         or -x-3=-10

-x=13                   -x=-7

x=-13                    x=7

Find the volume of the prism.

Answers

Answer:  Possibly, 105 cm³ if it is a triangular prism,  or

Possibly 210 cm³ if it is a rectangular prism

Step-by-step explanation: Without knowing exactly what kind of prism it is, it is impossible to give an exact answer.

If the bases are triangles with altitude and and base of 5 and 6, anf the height of the prism is 7, the volume is

(6×5)/2 × 7

30/2 ×7

15 × 7 = 105 cm³ for a triangular prism

If the bases are rectangles with length and and width of 6 and 5, and the height of the prism is 7, the volume is

6×5×7 = 210 cm³ for a rectangular prism

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. The measure of <2 is six more than twice the measure of <1. Find the measure of <2

Answers

Answer:

122 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that angle 1 and 2 make a linear pair:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees ----------------------------(1)

We have also been told that angle 2 is 6 more than twice the measure of angle 1

Which means: angle 2 = (2*angle1)  + 6 -------------------(2)

From putting the value of angle 2 in (1) from (2)

angle 1 + 2*angle 1 + 6 = 180

3*angle 1 = 174

angle 1 = 58 degrees -----------------------(3)

From (1) and (3):

angle 2 + 58 = 180

angle 2  = 122 degrees

Therefore, the measure of angle 2 is 122 degrees

First subtract 9 from both sides

84=2x

Then divide by 2 on both sides

When do you use the divergence test, comparison test, p test, geometric, integral, comparison, limit comparison, and alternating series?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Divergence Test: use this when the limit as n approaches infinity of a sequence isn't 0.

If lim(n→∞) an ≠ 0, then an diverges.

(Note this only tests divergence, not convergence.)

P Test: use this when the series is a p-series.

For an = 1 / nᵖ, if p > 1, then the series converges.  Otherwise, it diverges.

Geometric Test: use this when the series is a geometric series.

For an = a₁ (r)ⁿ, if -1 < r < 1, then the series converges.  Otherwise, it diverges.

Integral Test: use this when the sequence can be easily integrated.

If ∫₁°° f(x) dx converges, then ∑₁°° f(n) converges.

If ∫₁°° f(x) dx diverges, then ∑₁°° f(n) diverges.

Comparison Test: use this when a sequence is similar to a p-series or a geometric series.

If bn > an and bn converges, then an converges.

If bn < an and bn diverges, then an diverges.

Otherwise, inconclusive.

Limit Comparison Test: use this when comparison test is inconclusive.

If an ≥ 0 and bn > 0, and lim(n→∞) an/bn > 0 and finite, then an and bn either both converge or both diverge.

Alternating Series Test: use this when the series is alternating.  This usually includes (-1)ⁿ or (-1)ⁿ⁺¹, but might use trig functions instead.

If an = (-1)ⁿ bn or (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ bn, where bn ≥ 0, and if lim(n→∞) bn = 0, and bn is decreasing, then an converges.

(Notice this only tests for convergence, not divergence.)
