Diya and Leo both write the decimal 2.15 repeating as a fraction. Diya's fraction: 97/45 Leo's fraction: 97/5 Who wrote the correct fraction?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: We can solve this without counting too much, like this:

When we look st Diya's fraction: it's about 2 : you can see that the top number is about twice as big as the lower one (compare 90 and 40 for this, 90 is a little more than twice 40)

When we look at Leo's fraction: 97 is a lot more than twice 5!!! To simplify compare 90 and 5: it is definitely at least 10 times bigger (actually 18).

So even if we just "look at" the fractions; Leo's fraction seems too big to be 2.(15).

In fact, his fraction is equal to 19.4

Diya was right!

(and 97/45 is exactly 2.(15).

Equation for the points (3,8) (2,6) on slope

Answers

(8-6)/(3-2) = (2)/(1)=4

The slope is 2

y=2x + b

Plug in a point to solve for b
8 = 2(3) + b

8 = 6 + b
b = 2

The equation is y = 2x + 2

Solve the equation. 2x - 8(x+1)= 6(2x - 3)

If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that at least one die shows a 3?

Answers

-- Two fair dice can land in 36 possible ways.  (6 ways each).

--  The successful tosses are

              3 .... (not 3)
       (not 3) .... 3
and         3 .... 3

Three of the 36 possible outcomes are successful.

-- The probability of a successful toss is
 
                 (3) / (36)  =  1/12  =  (8 and 1/3) % .

When dividing the only thing you do is subtract the exponents from each other.

-6-7

In this case, you have to subtract a number from a negative. -6-7 would actually be -6+-7.

-6+-7= -13

12^-13 is the final answer
