Divide the numerator the same as the denominator. Divide down 6 and 12 until you come up with 1/2. The fractions are equivalent. You can check this with multiplication
Answer:
the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches. the diagram is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
a scale factor of 1/4 means that the lengths of each side of the sail will be reduced by 0ne-forth (0.6) its original length. Therefore the lengths of the scale drawing before and after scaling are:
6 inches = 6 × 1/4 = 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 inches
8 inches = 7 × 0.25 = 2 inches
10 inches = 10 × 0.25 = 2.5 inches.
Therefore the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches as shown in the diagram attached.
She bought 4 pounds of limes and 5 pounds of pears.
Answer:
22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you expand the series, you can see the first few terms of the series:
- Putting 1 in
, 
- Putting 2 in
, 
- Putting 3 in
,
- Putting 4 in
,
We can see the series is 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ....
This is an arithmetic series with common difference (the difference in 2 terms) 0.5 and first term 0.
We know formula for sum of arithmetic series:

Where,
denotes the nth partial sum
is the first term (in our case it is 0)
is the term (in our case it is 10 since we want to find 10th partial sum -- sum until first 10 terms)
is the common difference (difference in term and the previous term) (in our case it is 0.5)
Substituting these into the formula, we get the 10th partial sum to be:

So the sum of the first 10 terms is 22.5. Third answer choice is right.
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable
