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

Find the number of rectangles in 8×8 chessboard. (not just the 1x1 squares)
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>                                             Number of rectangles</em>

<em>____________________________________________________________</em>

1 × 1 squares 9-1 = 1 = 8*8 = 64

1 × 2 squares 9-2 = 7 = 8*7 = 56

1 × 3 squares 9-3 = 6 = 8*6 = 48

1 × 4 squares 9-4 = 5 = 8*5 = 40

1 × 5 squares 9-5 = 4 = 8*4 =32

1 × 6 squares 9-6 = 3 = 8*3 = 24

1 × 7 squares 9-7 = 2 = 8*2 = 16

1 × 8 squares 9-8 = 1 = 8*1 = 8

64 + 56 + 48 + 40 + 32 + 24 + 16 + 8 = 288

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>the number of squares on a chessboard is 228.</em>

2(5– x)3 – 11 = 151

(10 - 2x)3 - 11 = 151

30 - 6x = 162

-6x = 132

x = -22

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain p
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the <u>unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.</u>

If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;

x = 1 cosmetic

since 360 = 12 cosmetic

cross multiply

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30

Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30

Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)

Selling price per unit = Rs. 40

Cost price per unit = Rs. 30

percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%

percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100

percent gain = 10/30 * 100

percent gain = 100/3

percent gain = 33.33%

Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%
