Ankur estimated the quotient of 15 and one-third divided by (negative 4 and two-thirds) to be 3. Which best describes his error? Ankur multiplied the compatible numbers 15 and –3. Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is negative. Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive. Ankur added the compatible numbers 15 and –3.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ankur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression that is solved by Ankur as shown;

[tex]15 \frac{1}{3} \div(-4\frac{2}{3} )[/tex]

We were told that Ankur got 3. Let us evaluate to see ankurs error.

change to improper fraction first

[tex]= 15 \frac{1}{3} \div(-4\frac{2}{3} )\\= \frac{46}{3} \div \frac{-14}{3} \\= \frac{46}{3} \times \frac{-3}{14} \\= \frac{-46}{14}\\ = -3.28[/tex]

Note that from the calculation the quotient of a positive number to a negative number returns a negative number. Based on Ankur's answer, he got a postive value which is one of his errors. He found out that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive which is wrong.

Hence the correct option is C

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-stepAnkur found that the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Quotient of 15 and one-third divided by (negative 4 and two-thirds) = 3

Mathematically,

( 15 1/3) ÷ (-4 2/3) = 3

Here,

Dividend = 15 1/3 (positive)

Divisor = - 4 2/3 (negative)

Dividing a positive Dividend by a negative Divisor will always give a negative quotient

Hence,

15 1/3 = 46 / 3

-4 2/3 = - 14 / 3

46/3 ÷ - 14/3

= 46/3 * -3 / 14

Ankur must have either forgotten or neglected the negative sign in the divisor explanation:

so the answer is b

The solution is x=

Please explain

Answers

Answer:

x=23

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 as a decimal is 0.16666667 but i rounded it to 0.2

so the equation is the 0.2(3x-9)-9=3

then i did 0.2 times 3x =0.6x

then 0.2 times -9= -1.8

so the equation now looks like this:

0.6x-1.8x-9=3

so i add 1.8 and 9 to 3 which gives you 13.8

then the equation looks like this:

0.6x=13.8

then you do 13.8 divided by 0.6 which equals 23.

The 150 Grade 7 students participated in school's Math Olympics. 64 students registered in Math Trail , 78 students registered in Amazing Race and 28 students registered in both Math Trail and Amazing Race. How many students registered in Math Trail only and in Amazing Race only? Are there students who did not registered in both events, how many?​

Answers

Answer:

Number of students registered in Math trail only and in Amazing Race only is 86.

Number of students who did not registered in both events = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 150 students totally.

64 students registered in Math trail.

78 registered in Amazing race.

28 registered in both Math trail and Amazing Race.

We can make Venn diagram for this and answer the question.

I've attached the Venn diagram.

Using the diagram,

Number of students registered in Math trial only and in Amazing race only is 36+50= 86.

Number of students who did not registered in both events = (150-(36+28+50))=36

To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of information. An equation relating packets to bytes of information is given by b = 1,500p where p represents the number of packets and b represents the number of bytes of information. Each byte contains 8 bits of information. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits. (X = form)

Answers

Answer: [tex]x= 187.5p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An equation relating packets to bytes of information : [tex]b = 1,500p[/tex] where p represents the number of packets and b represents the number of bytes of information.

1 byte = 8 bits

Let x= Number of bits such that 1 b = 8x

Put b = 8x in given equation , we get

[tex]8x=1500p[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 , we get

[tex]x= 187.5p[/tex]

Hence, the equation represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits : [tex]x= 187.5p[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Alternate Interior, Corresponding, Consecutive Interior, Alternate Exterior

Step-by-step explanation:

When a transversal cuts across two parallel lines, there are 4 major types of special angles that are formed as shown in the attachment below. They are:

1. Alternate interior angle pairs are angles that are positioned inside the two parallel lines but lie on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts across the two parallel lines.

In the figure attached below, the alternate exterior angle pairs are labelled:

<3 and <6;

<4 and 5

2. Corresponding angles: these are angle pairs that are lie in the same position of the transversal, one interior, and the other exterior to a parallel lines respectively.

In the figure attached below: the following are corresponding angles pairs:

<1 and <5;

<2 and 6;

<3 and <7;

<4 and <8

3. Consecutive Interior angle pairs: these are angles that lie in the same side of the transversal and also found opposite each other within the parallel lines.

They are labelled:

<3 and <5;

<4 and <6

4. Alternate exterior angle pairs are angles that are positioned outside of the two parallel lines but lie on opposite sides of the transversal that cuts across the two parallel lines.

They are labelled:

Answer: She can make 12 batches of brownies. There is a slight remainder, but think about it like this, if you only had a spoon full of sugar left, do you think you could make an entire batch of brownies? No. So if you see problems like this, the whole number should be the answer (unless asked otherwise).

Step-by-step explanation:  Since 3/4 is like 75 out of 100, the decimal form is .75 and we all know (or should know) that 1/2 can be put as .5. Whenever there's a whole number before the fraction, and you want to convert the fraction into a decimal, the whole number will go before the decimal. So after converting the fractions to decimals, the problem is 9.5 divided by .75 which is 12.6. Like I said before, that remainder .6 can't make an entire batch of brownies, so we just go with the whole number 12.
