2.125 = 17/8 = 21/8 as a fraction

Step by Step Solution

To convert the decimal 2.125 to a fraction follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

2.125 = 2.125/1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 3 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000. So,

2.125/1 = (2.125 x 1000)/(1 x 1000) = 2125/1000.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(2125,1000) = 125. So,

(2125÷125)/(1000÷125) = 17/8 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 2125/1000 is also equal to 2 1/8 when expressed as a mixed number.

A newspaper vendor sells three papers to 135 customers, the papers are the daily times, the observer and the new Nigeria. 70 cus

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

3 customers brought all the three papers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, D, O and N represents the three newspapers.

D = The daily times

O = The observer

N = The new Nigeria.

According to the given information,

$n(D\cup O\cup N)=135, n(D)=70,n(O)=60,n(N)=50$

$n(D\cap O)=17, n(O\cap N)=15, n(D\cap N)=16$

We know that,

$n(A\cup B\cup C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C)-n(A\cap B)-n(B\cap C)-n(C\cap A) + n(A\cap B\cap C)$

Using this formula, we get

$n(D\cup O\cup N) = n(D)+n(O) + n(N)-n(D\cap O)-n(O\cap N)-n(N\cap D) + n(D\cap O\cap N)$

$135 =70+60+50-17-15-16 +n(D\cap O\cap N)$

$135 =132+n(D\cap O\cap N)$

$135 -132=n(D\cap O\cap N)$

$3=n(D\cap O\cap N)$

Therefore, 3 customers brought all the three papers.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: C. 70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Time for the first unit = 50 minutes

Time for the second unit = 35 minutes

The unit improvement factor learning curve = (The time for the second unit) ÷ (time for the first unit) x 100.

So, The unit improvement factor learning curve = 35÷ 50 × 100 = 70 percent.

Hence, the correct option is "C. 70 percent".

Mark and Sofia walk together down a long, straight road. They walk without stopping for 4 miles. At this point Sofia says their

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Sofia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.

On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.
