Step-by-step Solution:

<em>Let the "?" be known as "x".</em>

Given equation:

3/5 = 24/40 = x/60

Therefore, we obtain the following equations:

  • Equation 1: 3/5 = 24/40
  • Equation 2: 3/5 = x/60
  • Equation 3: 24/40 = x/60

Clearly, the second and the third equation have the "x" variable included. Therefore, we will only focus on the second and third equations.

  • 3/5 = x/60
  • 24/40 = x/60

Note: We can choose any equation to solve for x. The value of x in both equations will be the same as 3/5 = 24/40.

<u>Determining the "x" variable in Equation 2:</u>

  • ⇒ 3/5 = x/60
  • ⇒ 5x = 60 × 3                                             [Cross multiplication]
  • ⇒ 5x = 180                                                        [Simplifying]
  • ⇒ 5x/5 = 180/5                                                   [Dividing]
  • ⇒ x = 36                                                          [Simplifying]

<u>Determining the "x" variable in Equation 3:</u>

  • ⇒ 24/40 = x/60
  • ⇒ 40x = 24 × 60                                        [Cross multiplication]
  • ⇒ 40x = 1440                                                   [Simplifying]
  • ⇒ 40x/40 = 1440/40                                          [Dividing]
  • ⇒ x = 36                                                          [Simplifying]

Therefore, the value of "?" is 36.

Answer:

? = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Knowing that 3/5 and 24/40 is equal</em>

<em>Therefore we can either use:</em>

<em>3/5 = ?/60 or 24/40 = ?/60</em>

<em>I will use 3/5 = ?/60</em>

<em>Let ? = x</em>

<em>Hence we have</em>

<em>3/5 = x/60</em>

<em>Multiply both sides by 10</em>

<em>6 = x/6</em>

<em>Multiply both sides by 6</em>

<em>x = 36</em>

<em>Therefore, the question mark = 36</em>

<em />

<em>Let's check the answer by Simplifying the fraction:</em>

<em>3/5 = 36/60</em>

<em>3/5 is in already simplify</em>

<em>36/60 simplify = 3/5</em>

<em />

<em>3/5 = 3/5</em>

<em>Thus, the question mark = 36</em>

What is the numerator of the fraction equivalent to 3\5 that has a denominator of 30
aliya0001 [1]
Well, the numerator is the number on top, so in the fraction 3/5, 3 is the numerator. To find the equation with a denominator of 30 that is equivalent, find what the difference is. 30/5 = 6. So now, multiply the numerator by 6. 6 * 3 = 18. The new fraction is 18/30. The numerator is 18. Hope this helps!

Ben consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Ben's body decr
Airida [17]

Answer:

The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.

Step-by-step explanation:

After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Ben's body decreases exponentially.

This means that the amount of caffeine after t hours is given by:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is 0.2722.

1 - 0.2722 = 0.7278, thus, A(10) = 0.7278A(0). We use this to find k.

A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}

0.7278A(0) = A(0)e^{-10k}

e^{-10k} = 0.7278

\ln{e^{-10k}} = \ln{0.7278}

-10k = \ln{0.7278}

k = -\frac{\ln{0.7278}}{10}

k = 0.03177289938&#10;

Then

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.03177289938t}

What is the 5-hour growth/decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body?

We have to find find A(5), as a function of A(0). So

A(5) = A(0)e^{-0.03177289938*5}

A(5) = 0.8531

The decay factor is:

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469

The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.
