Answer:

a=16

Step-by-step explanation:

10/a=15/24, a≠0

10/a=5/8

80=5a

5a=80

a=16,a≠0

a=16

A = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

The amount of radioactive element remaining, r, in a 100mg sample after d days is represented using the equation r=100(1/2) d/5.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

12.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 100(1/2)^(d/5) = 100((1/2)^(1/5))^d ≈ 100(.87055)^d

The daily decrease is 1 - 0.87055 = 0.12944 ≈ 12.94%

in a proportional relationship the ratio y/x is constant. Show that this ratio is not constant for the equation y=a-14

Colt1911 [192]

To show that the ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is not constant for the function $y=a-14$ we only need to evaluate this function at 2 points and then show that the ratio is not the same for those two points. Note that here $a$ represents $x$ .

To find the counter examples here, I will use the values $a=20$ and $a=28$ . For $a = 20$ , the equation tells us that the output is

$y=20-14=6$ . For this value of $a$ the point is point is $(20,6)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{6}{20}$ . For the $a=28$ , $y=28-14=14$ . For this value of $a$ the point is $(28,14)$ . The ratio $\frac{y}{x} =\frac{14}{28} =\frac{1}{2}$ . Clearly this ratio is not constant for all ordered pairs.

Please solve the math question: |4x−4(x+1)|=4

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x has infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x−4(x+1)|=4

Simplify inside the absolute value by distributing the 4

|4x−4x+4|=4

Combine like terms

|4|=4

The absolute value of 4 is 4

4=4

This is always true, so x is all real values

x has infinite solutions

The number of bagels sold daily for two bakeries is shown in the table.

bonufazy [111]

The correct statement based on the data is: A. Mean, because there are no outliers to affect the data.

<h3>What are Outliers?</h3>

Outliers are data point that appears extreme from other data values of a data distribution. When there is an outlier in a data distribution, the median is a better measure of center, while the mean is best when outliers are absent.

From the data distribution for both bakeries, no data seem extreme from the rest of the data, therefore, the mean is a better measure of center.

The answer is: A. Mean, because there are no outliers to affect the data.
