Sherry claims that the expression 1/x will always be equivalent to a repeating decimal whenever x is an odd number greater than 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct options are :

b. 5

e. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The missing part is :

'' Which of these values will prove Sherry's claim is false :

a. 3

b. 5

c. 7

d. 11

e. 25 ''

One way to prove that Sherry's claim is false is finding one odd number greater than 1 that when we replace it in the denominator of the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] the result isn't equivalent to a repeating decimal.

Let's analyze each option :

a. 3

3 is an odd number greater than 1 ⇒ If we replace in the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  ≅ 0.3333 (repeating decimal)

The option a. 3 won't prove that Sherry's claim is false.

b. 5

5 is an odd number greater than 1 ⇒ If we replace in the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]\frac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]

The result isn't a repeating decimal.

The option b. 5 will prove that Sherry's claim is false.

c. 7

7 is an odd number greater than 1 ⇒ If we replace in the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] ≅ 0.1428 (repeating decimal)

The option c. 7 won't prove that Sherry's claim is false.

d. 11

11 is an odd number greater than 1 ⇒ If we replace in the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]\frac{1}{11}[/tex] ≅ 0.0909 (repeating decimal)

The option d. 11 won't prove that Sherry's claim is false.

e. 25

25 is an odd number greater than 1 ⇒ If we replace in the expression [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ⇒

[tex]\frac{1}{25}[/tex] ≅ 0.04

The result isn't a repeating decimal

The option e. 25 will prove that Sherry's claim is false.

Complete the equation and solve it to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal. Use the variable x to represent the
number of hours.

Answers

Answer:

Happy paws

y = 20 + 4x

Woof watchers

y = 9 + 5x

x = 11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of hours = x

Total cost = y

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

The equations are:

Happy paws

y = 20 + 4x

Woof watchers

y = 9 + 5x

solve the equation to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal.

Equate total cost of both services

20 + 4x = 9 + 5x

Collect like terms

20 - 9 = 5x - 4x

11 = x

x = 11 hours

Check:

Happy paws

y = 20 + 4x

= 20 + 4(11)

= 20 + 44

= 64

Woof watchers

y = 9 + 5x

= 9 + 5(11)

= 9 + 55

= 64

Finally, subtract 3 on both sides:

x = -11

Answer:

The outside of a rectangular picture frame measures 10 in. by 11 in. and has a 1-in. border. What is the area of the border?

Answers

Answer:156in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the border = Length * Breadth

If the outside measures 10in by 11in with 1-in border, the length of the picture with border = 10+(1+1) * 11+(1+1)

Area of the border = 12*13

Area of the border = 156in²

Note that the border length will be added at both edges of the frames for each length and the width of the frame

The perimeter of a rectangle is 234 meters.
The rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.
What are its length and width?

Answers

I am going to show you how easy this is. Once you understand, you will be able to do this forever.

:

Assuming the side of the rectangle are (L) length and (W) width, the perimeter:

2L + 2W = 234

:

"the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide,", the equation for this statement:

L = 2W

:

In the first equation, we can replace L with 2W, then we have

2(2W) + 2W = 234

4W + 2W = 234

6W = 234

Divide both sides by 6

W = 234%2F6

W = 39 meters is the width

:

Remember it said the length is twice the width, therefore:

L = 2(39)

L = 78 meters is the length

:

:

Check this by finding the perimeter with these values

2(78) + 2(39) =

156 + 78 = 234

Tommy, Ali, and Jack each have a band. Tommy’s band has won three less awards then Ali. Jacks band has won twice as many bands as Tommy. They have a total of 23 awards. Find the number of awards each persons’ band has won.

Answers

Answer:

Tommy's band won 5 awards, Ali's band won 8 awards and Jack's band won 10 awards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of awards Tommy won be x.

Number of awards Ali won -> x+3

Number of awards Jack won -> 2x

[tex]x+x+3+2x=23[/tex]

[tex]4x+3=23[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides:

[tex]4x+3-3=23-3[/tex]

[tex]4x=20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex] (Tommy)

[tex]5+3=8[/tex] (Ali)

[tex]5\times2=10[/tex] (Jack)

Answer: Tommy won 5 awards. Ali won 8 awards. Jack won 10 awards.

Step-by-step explanation:

First give each person a variable:

Tommy = y

Ali = a

Jack = x

Then figure out the equations:

Tommy won 3 less awards than Ali, so the equation would be (y = a - 3).

Jack won twice as many awards as Tommy, so the equation would be (x = 2y)

All three won a total of 23, so that would be (23 = y + x + a)

Next, plug in (2y) into the (x) of (23 = y + x + a)

This would result in (23 = 3y + a)

Then you would plug in (a - 3) into (y)

This would result in (23 = 4a - 9)

Solve for a: (a = 8)

Now that you know (a = 8), plug that into the first equation (y = a - 3) to find (y).

Answer: (y = 5)

Use (y = 5) and plug it into the second equation (x = 2y) to find (x)

A mathematics or algebraic statement which represents that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal, is called an equation.

In option A,

[tex]1\neq 9[/tex]

LHS≠RHS. So, it is not an equation.

In option B and C,

LHS=RHS. Both are equations.

In option D,
