Prove the following statement directly from the definitions. The difference of any two rational numbers is a rational number. Proof: Suppose r and s are any two rational numbers. By definition of rational, r

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- Integers, b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0.

- r - s = (ad - bc)/bd.

- products and differences of integers are integers.

-  zero product property

- quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers are integers that can take the form of numerator divided by a denominator, that is to say in the form of 'a/b;. So, we are given from the question or problem to prove and fill in the gap the correct information or data:

For the first part of the question:

The missing data in the gap = Integers; b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0. That is to say the denominators can not be zero or say that the denominators are non zero. This is one of the properties or let us say one of the ways of identifying a Rational number.

For the second part:

The missing data in the gap = a/b - c/d =  (ad - bc)/bd. This is the representation in  a simplified form.

For the third part:

The missing data or information = products and differences of integers are integers.

For the fourth part:

The missing data or information: zero product property, that is to say the product of the numerators is not equal to zero, or it is non zero.

For the fifth part:

The missing data or information: quotient.  r - s is a quotient of two integers.

1. Refer to the equation 3x − 5y = 15. (a) Create a table of values for at least 4 points. Show your work on how you found the values for each coordinate pair, and validated the points were on the line. Work for Point 1 Work for Point 2 Work for Point 3 Work for Point 4

Answers

Answer:

We have the equation:

3x - 5y = 15

a) We want to create a table with at least 4 points.

To do this, first, let's write the equation as a function: We must isolate one of the variables. Let's isolate y.

5y = 3x - 15

y = (3/5)*x - 3.

Then we have a linear equation.

Now, we can input different values of x, and see what value takes y in each case, then in this way we can be sure that the points will be on the line.

x = 0.

y = (3/5)*0 - 3

y = -3

Then we have the point (0, -3).

x = 1.

y = (3/5)*1 - 3 = 3/5 - 15/5 = -12/5

y = -12/5

Then we have the point (1, -12/5)

x = 5

y = (3/5)*5 - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0

y = 0

then we have the point (5, 0)

x = 10

y = (3/5)*10 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3

y = 3

Then we have the point (10, 3).

Now we can create the table

how many numbers are between k and n

Answers

Answer:

n-k-1

Step-by-step explanation:

n is bigger than k. It asks BETWEEN k and n. so, since n is bigger than k, n-k. since it says BETWEEN, you subtract 1 after that

got it?

=)

oh and the reason i am strict about BETWEEN, is because when it said between, then its discluding k and n.

If it says FROM k and n, then you both include k and n, and that would result of adding 1 instead of subtracting 1.

Olga has $40 in her wallet. She has one more $5 bill than $10 bills, and two more $1 bills than $5 bills. If Olga has only three types of bills, how many bills of each denomination does she have?

Answers

Answer:

Number of $10 bills = 2

Number of $5 bills = 3

Number of $1 bills  = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount = $40

Number of $10 bills = x

Number of $5 bills = x + 1

Number of $1 bills = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3

Find:

Number of each bills

Computation:

10(x) + 5(x+1) + 1(x+3) = 40

10x + 5x + 5 + x + 3 = 40

16x = 32

x = 2

Number of $10 bills = x = 2

Number of $5 bills = x + 1 = 3

Number of $1 bills  = x + 3 = 5

Answer:

# of $10 bills = 2

# of $5 bills = 3

# of $1 bills  = 5

Answers

she drank 14 ounces of her water, she has 28 ounces left, just divide 42 by 3

Answer:

1)14oz

2)28oz

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the amount of water is left in the bottle you want to substract 1/3 so the first thing you want to do is find what 1/3 of 42 is. So do this: (This is also 42/3)

42*1/3=14

So we now know that 14 is 1/3 of 45 which is the first answer. To find the second answer you want to substract 14 from 42 which is 28.

So that means she has 28 oz of water left when she gets there.

Xavier is solving a problem on the whiteboard as shown.
Part A. Is Xavier's solution correct? If not, identify where he made an error.
Part B. Solve 7950 divided by 25.

Answers

Solution 1 :3/4 ÷ 1/2 = B

Solution 2 :

Quantity of trail mix with Monty = 3/4 pounds

Quantity of pounds he need to divide it into = 1/8

Number of trail mix bags Monty will have =

= 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1 ( division of fraction is multiplication with reciprocal )

= 24/4

We know that both 24 and 4 is divisible by 4 . Hence ,

= 24 ÷ 4 / 4 ÷ 4

= 6/1

= 6 bags

Therefore , Monty will have 6 bags of trail mix .

Solution 3 :

Quantity of food an elephant eats in 16 hours = 525 pounds

Quantity of food the elephant will eat in 1 hour = 525 ÷ 16

Quantity of food the elephant will eat in 1 hour = 32.8125 pounds = 33 pounds

Therefore , an elephant eats 33 pounds of food in 1 hour .

Solution 4 :

Number of tickets that can be purchased with $14 = 1 ticket

Number of tickets that can be purchased with $500 =

= 500 ÷ 14

= 35 tickets

Therefore , 35 tickets can be purchased with $500 .

Solution 5 :

Factors of 45 = 1 , 5 , 3, 9 , 15 and 45 .

Factors of 27 = 1 , 3 , 9 and 27 .

Their Greatest common factor = 9 .

Then , the sum of 45 and 27 can be written as :

9 ( 5 + 3 )

Therefore , Mr . Morris wrote = 9 ( 5 + 3 ) .

Solution 6 :

Total number of event flyers in a club = 4896

Total number of playerz in a club = 24

Then number of flyers each member of the club will get =

= 4896 ÷ 24

= 204

Therefore , each player will get 204 flyers .

Solution 7 :

Part A is not given .

Part B :

= 7950 ÷ 25

= 318

Therefore , 7950 ÷ 25 = 318 .

4. Gabby ate 25 % of a whole pepperoni pizza.
Lebron ate 1/8 of the pizza.
What fraction of the pizza was left for Mohamed to eat?

Answers

Answer:

There is 5/8 left for Mohamed to eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put everything into fractions of 1/8. knowing that 25% is 1/4 or 2/8, 1/8 + 2/8= 3/8. and to find the answer, you need to subtract 3/8 from 8/8 or 1.

As a result, 5/8.

1/8 = 12.5%

12.5% + 25% = 37.5%

We need to know how much is left.

37.5% is gone, so 100% - 37.5% = 62.5%

62.5% is left for Mohamed to eat.

62.5% = 5/8.

5/8 of a pizza is left for mohamed to eat.
