Which number has the lowest value ?
a) 1/2 +0.30 b) 0.10 + 3/4 c) 1/3 + 0.50 d) 1/3 +0.40

Hey!

Let's Solve A:

1/2 = 0.5

0.5 + 0.30 = 0.80

a = 0.80

Let's Solve B:

3/4 = 0.75

0.10 + 0.75 = 0.85

b = 0.85

Let's Solve C:

1/3 ≈ 0.33

0.33 + 0.50 = 0.83

c = 0.83

Let's Solve D:

1/3 ≈ 0.33

0.33 + 0.40 = 0.73

d = 0.73

By solving each equation we can see that option A has the lowest value!

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
