Question

in a simple counting formula to determine the hertz (hz) of a wave relative to time, the total hz ($x$) over a time period can be included in the numerator of a fraction with a set time period ($y$) in seconds in the denominator. $\frac{x}{y}$ which in turn can be converted into a mixed number, as has been shown in other problems. mathematically, it can be represented the same way with one additional variable included for the whole number ($n$). $n\frac{x}{y}\text{hz/sec}$ however, the same information can be represented as a decimal. convert the value to a decimal expression if 1,502 hz are observed over 6 seconds. round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. you do not need to include units.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values for x and y

$x = 1502$, $y=6$

Step2: Calculate the fraction as a decimal

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1502}{6}=250.333\cdots$

Step3: Round to nearest hundredth

$250.33$

Answer:

$250.33$
