Given the definition of rational numbers, are decimals like 0.5 and 0.3 rational numbers? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes they are rational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given decimals like 0.5 and 0.3 are rational numbers because they are terminating decimals and can be written as p/q

What are rational numbers?

Rational numbers are numbers which can be written in the form p/q , where p and q are integers ,q≠0, highest common factor of p and q is 1.

The decimal expansion of rational number are terminating decimal expansion or non terminating and recurring decimal expansions.

Examples of rational number: 1/2 , 3/4, 13/2, 0.125,0.5, 0.55555....,

0.1212121212.....

As the given decimals 0.5 and 0.3 have terminating decimal expansion  therefore they are rational numbers.

The rational form of 0.5 and 0.3 are

0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2

∴ 0.5 is written as p/q with p= 1 and q =2≠0 , p and q are coprime

0.3 = 3/10  

0.3 is written as  p/q with p= 3 and q =10≠0 , p and q are coprime

Therefore, 0.5 and 0.3 are rational numbers.

Answers

Applying the points given, it is found that the growth rate of the exponential function is:

c. 50%

An exponential function has the following format:

[tex]y = a(1 + r)^x[/tex]

In which:

a is the initial value, that is, the value of y when x = 0.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

The curve begins at (0,15), thus a = 15.It passes through (4, 75), which means that when [tex]x = 4, y = 75[/tex], and this is used to find r.

[tex]y = a(1 + r)^x[/tex]

[tex]75 = 15(1 + r)^4[/tex]

[tex](1 + r)^4 = 5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[4]{(1 + r)^4} = \sqrt[4]{5}[/tex]

[tex]1 + r = 1.4953[/tex]

[tex]r = 1.4953 - 1[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.4953[/tex]

His new employer has offered Malcom Davis a choice of profit-sharing plans. For Plan A, he can receive 1/90 of the company’s gross income. For Plan B, he can receive 1/60 of the company’s profit. Gross income is the total amount the company takes in. Profit is the difference of the gross income and expenses. The company’s expenses for one month are $100,000.

A) Write an equation for finding the gross income that would give Malcom Davis the same amount of money with either plan.

B) Solve the equation from Exercise A and interpret the solution.

C) How much would Malcom Davis receive when the two plans are the same?

D) If the gross income of the company is less than the amount from Part B, which plan would be better for Malcom Davis? Show work to support your answer.

Answers

Malcom Davis earnings is an illustration of equations and proportions.

The equation is: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}[/tex]The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same.

Let the profit be P, and the gross income be G.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P= G - 100000}[/tex]

(a) The equations

For plan A, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}[/tex] ----1/90 of the company's gross income

For plan B, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{B = \frac{1}{60}P}[/tex]  ----1/90 of the company's profit

When both are the same, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A= B}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}P}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{P= G - 100000}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}[/tex]

Hence, the equation is: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}[/tex]

(b) Solve the equation in (a), and intepret

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{90}G= \frac{1}{60}(G- 100000)}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\mathbf{60G = 90G - 9000 000}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{90G - 60G = 9000 000}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{30G = 9000 000}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 30

[tex]\mathbf{G = 3000 00}[/tex]

The gross income must be $300000, for Dave to earn the same amount with either plan.

(c) His earnings based on (c)

We have:

[tex]\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90}G}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{G = 3000 00}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = \frac{1}{90} \times 300000}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = 3333.33}[/tex]

His earning is $3333.33 when the plans are the same

(d) If the gross income in less than (b)

If the gross income is less than $300,000, then plan A would better for Malcom Davis, because his earnings in plan A would be greater than plan B

Olivia started knitting a jumper
4 hours and 43 minutes before 19:13
What time did she start knitting the jumper?
Give your answer in 24 hour time.




Answers

Answer: 14:30

Step-by-step explanation:

19:13 - 4.43 looks easy, but time expressed in 24-hour format is a base 60 calculation in the decimal portion.  It only contains values between 0 and 59.

I broke it it down to simplify:

1)  Take 13 minutes off the 19:13 to make it 19:00.  

2)  Then take the same 13 minutes off the 4.43, which would make it 4.30 (4 1/2 hours)

3)  Now take off the 4.30 from the 19:00.  The 4 portion of 4.3 can be removed:  19:00 - 4:00 = 15:00.  Then remove the 0:30 portion (1/2 hour), which would leave 14:30.

14:30 plus 4:43 = 18:73, but the 0:73 must convert to 1:13 to account for the 60 minutes/hour format

Olivia started knitting a jumper at 13:30.

What is 24-hour time format?

A 24-hour time format is similar regular AM/PM time, except that you keep counting up after you get past 12 PM (noon). So 1 PM in 24-hour format is 13:00, 2 PM is 14:00, and so on. All you need to do is add 12 to any time in the PM to get 24-hour format time.

How to calculate the time?

To solve this question we need to substitute the given values of 'a' & 'b' in the equation & then simplify it.

Given,

a = 4b = 1

Now, substitute this in the place of 'a' & 'b'..

[tex]\large \tt \frac{5 - 2(a + 3b)}{2} \\ = \large \underline{\underline{\tt \: \frac{5 - 2((4) + 3(1))}{2} }}[/tex]

Lastly, simplify it...
