During a bike challenge, riders have to collect various colored ribbons. each 1/2 mile they collect a red ribbon, each 1/8 mile they collect a green ribbon, and each 1/4 mile they collect a blue ribbon. which colors of ribbons will be collected at the 3/4 mile marker?

The correct answer is:
green and blue.

Explanation:
We want to see which fractions $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of. We know that $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{4}$ , because $\frac{1}{4}$ *3= $\frac{3}{4}$ .

We can divide fractions to determine if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{2}$ :
$\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{2}}$ ;

in order to divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ )* $\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{6}{4}$ =1 $\frac{1}{2}$ .
This did not divide evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is not a multiple of 1/2.

Checking to see if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ , $\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{8}}$ ;

flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ * $\frac{8}{1}$ = $\frac{24}{4}$ =6.
This divided evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Hello there!

As we know, each 1/2 mile there is a red ribbon, each 1/8 mile there is a green ribbon, and each 1/4 mile there is a blue ribbon.

We want to know which color of ribbons is in the 3/4 mile marker.

then we need to see if 3/4 is a multiple of some of the previous numbers.

Start with the red ribbons, we need to see the quotient between 3/4 and 1/2, if the result is a whole number, then 3/4 is a multiple of 1/2

this is q = (3/4)/(1/2) = (3/4)*2 = 6/4

here we haven't a whole number, then there is no red ribbon at the 3/4 mile marker.

now with the green ones:

(3/4)/(1/8) = (3/4)*8 = 24/4 = 6

there we have a whole number, this means that at the 3/4 mile marker, we will see the sixth green ribbon, then we have a green ribbon in this marker.

now with the blue:

(3/4)/(1/4) = (3/4)*4 = 3

At the 3/4 mile marker, we will see the third blue ribbon, then there is a blue ribbon in this marker.

Then we know that in the 3/4 mile marker, there are a green and a blue ribbon.

Answer from: Quest

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph

there is a hike in both the graphs so the graphs are increasing on their domain.x-intercept of log x and log 6x are differentthere is a vertical asymptote of both the graphs so there is no y-interceptas both the graphs are increasing so there is no horizontal asymptote
