The entire fraction may be expressed as a single composition, in which case it is hyphenated, or as a number of fractions with a numerator of one, in which case they are not. (For example, two-fifths is the fraction 2 / 5 and two fifths is the same fraction understood as 2 instances of 1 / 5 .) Fractions should always be ...
MBF numbers consist of an 8-bit base-2 exponent, a sign bit (positive mantissa: s = 0; negative mantissa: s = 1) and a 23-, [43] [8] 31-[8] or 55-bit [43] mantissa of the significand. There is always a 1-bit implied to the left of the explicit mantissa, and the radix point is located before this assumed bit .
The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
Roughly, the Bulgarian grade system can be equated to the American one like the following: 6=A, 5=B, 4=C, 3=D, and 2=F. Also, in accordance with the Australian system, 6=HD, 5=D, 4=Cr, 3=P, and 2=F. The most common formula used in Bulgarian schools is currently Grade=(6* number of correct answers)/ total number of questions.
That is, fractions aren't difficult to compare if the numerator is 1 (e.g., 1 ⁄ 2 is larger than 1 ⁄ 3, which in turn is larger than 1 ⁄ 4). However, comparisons become more difficult when both numerators and denominators are mixed: 3 ⁄ 4 is larger than 5 ⁄ 7 , which in turn is larger than 2 ⁄ 3 , though this cannot be determined by ...
In 2010, Michael Hartl proposed to use the Greek letter tau to represent the circle constant: τ = 2π. He offered several reasons for the choice of constant, primarily that it allows fractions of a turn to be expressed more directly: for instance, a 3 / 4 turn would be represented as 3τ / 4 rad instead of 3π / 2 rad ...
The Apple Computer 1 (Apple-1 [a]), later known predominantly as the Apple I (written with a Roman numeral), [b] is an 8-bit motherboard-only personal computer designed by Steve Wozniak [5] [6] and released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976.
