Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

Tanner made his aunt a garden. The width is 9 4/5 ft and the length is 5 3/4 ft. What is the area of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

56.35 ft^2, or 56 7/20 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this problem quickly is to convert both measurements into improper fractions before multiplying them:

9 4/5 = 49/5 and 5 3/4 = 23/4.

Then the area of the garden is 49/5 times 23/4, or 1127/20 ft^2, or

56.35 ft^2, or 56 7/20 ft^2.

Find the point closest to the origin in the line of intersection of the planes y + 2z = 10 and x + y = 11. The point closest to
Bogdan [553]

Answer with explanation:

The equation of two planes are

  1.→y +2 z=10

   2.→x+y=11

To find the point of Intersection of two planes

let,→ y=t

→2 z=10 - t

10 -2 z=t

→x=11 -t

11 -x=t

So,Writing equation of line which is intersection of two planes

    → 11 -x = y= 10-2 z=t

\rightarrow \frac{x-11}{-1}=\frac{y}{1}=\frac{z-5}{\frac{-1}{2}}=t

                                          ---------------------------------(1)

⇒Putting , x=0, y=0 and z=0 in the above equation ,to find the point Closest to Origin which will be

    =(11, 0, 10)
