Explain why the product is always less than one when you multiply a fraction by another fraction

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Because when you do that ...

-- you're starting with a piece that's less than ' 1 ', and

-- you're calculating a piece of it that's less than the whole original piece.

Answer 2

Answer: so a proper fraction (one that is less than one like 1/2 and not 5/3) is always less than one
by definition, a fraction means a 'part of' so if you multiply a fraction of a fraction it is like finding a part of a part and if the origonal part was less than one, then the result will be less than one like

1/2 of 2/4= (2/4=1/4+1/4) so 1/2 of 2/4=1/4 which is less than one

a path across a park is represented by the equation y=-2x+5. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. the two paths cross at (-2,9). I identify the equation that represents the new path.

Answers

Answer:

y = ½x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE RateofChanges[Slopes], so you need to have a slope of ½, like in the work shown below:

9 = ½[-2] + b

-1

10 = b

The sum of fifteen and six times a number t is eighty one

Answers

The number is 11.

What is an equation?

"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two arithmetic expressions."

For given question,

the sum of fifteen and six times a number t is eighty one.

We write above statement in equation form as,

15 + 6t = 81

We solve above equation to find the number t.

⇒ 15 + 6t = 81

⇒ 15 + 6t -15 = 81 - 15 .....................(Subtract 15 from both the sides)

⇒ 6t = 66

⇒ $(6t)/(6)$ = $(66)/(6)$ ....................(Divide both the sides by 6)

⇒ t = 11

Therefore, the number is 11.

I need something it pass do n i only have today to finish it How is an inequality different from an equation? Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.

Answers

it is different because an equation uses just equations signs but in an inequality you have to use these signs (< >). In a real life situation say i had $50 and i want to buy 2 CD's i need to know the average price so that i dont spend more than $50. So the inequality would be 50>2c.

Hope this helps~

♥ The formula to solve this is
$7/8 *4/5$
Now solve that to get your answer:
$(7)/(10)$
Thefore:
Your final answer is $(7)/(10)$ quarts of milk.
