Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

"of" means times so so so often. It is not a hard math rule/definition. But more like a soft English-Math translation.

So, "2/5 of what"

means 2/5x (but make sure the 2/5 is a fraction beside the x, NOT the x on the bottom with the 5)

"is" means equals.

2/5x = 2/3

Multiply both sides by 5/2.

5/2 • 2/5x = 2/3•5/2

x = 2/3 • 5/2

x = 5/3

You get 5/3 either by "cancelling" the 2's OR by

fraction multiplication where you times top×top and bottom×bottom and simplify.

x = 10/6

x = 5/3

2/5 of 5/3 is 2/3.

The "what" in the question is 5/3.

The answer is 4/15

2/5 * 2/3 = 2 · 2/5 · 3 = 4/15

Multiply the numerators and denominators together. Keep the result fraction to the smallest possible denominator GCD(4, 15) = 1. It cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling in the following intermediate step.

In other words, two fifths times two thirds equals four fifteenths.

Marissa deposited $3,900 into a savings account. How much will Marissa have in her account after 7 years and 6 months at a yearl

REY [17]

Marissa wants to know how much she would make using the simple interest calculation.

She will have $4,432.35

Given data

Principal = $3,900

Time = 7 years 6 months = 7.5 years

Rate = 1.82%

I = A - P = $532.35

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 1.82%/100 = 0.0182 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 3900(1 + (0.0182 × 7.5)) = 4432.35

A = $4,432.35

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $3,900.00 at a rate of 1.82% per year for 7.5 years is $4,432.35.

Factor the quadratic expression in the equation y = 2x2 + 8x - 154 and find the zeros of the equation. Then

Tema [17]

Answer:

zeros: -11 , 7

Line of symmetry: x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x² + 8x - 154 = 2*(x² + 4x - 77) = 2*(x+11)(x-7)

y = 0

x = - 11 or x = 7

line of symmetry: x = 1/2 (-11 + 7) = -2

2x² + 8x - 154 = 2*(x² + 4x +4) - 162 = 2 * (x+2)² - 162

vertex (h , k): h = -2 , k = -162

Line of symmetry: x = -2

HELP “The vertical supports in this truss bridge are built so that

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The statement that is not true is;

c) m∠ABO = m∠ODC

Step-by-step explanation:

With the assumption that the lengths AO, and OD are equal, we have that in ΔABO and ΔOCD, the following sides are corresponding sides;

Segment AO on ΔABO is a corresponding side to segment OD on ΔOCD

Vertices B and C on ΔABO and ΔOCD are corresponding vertices

Therefore;

Segments AB and OB on ΔABO are corresponding sides to segments OC and OD on ΔOCD respectively

Therefore, ∠ABO on ΔABO is the corresponding angle to ∠OCD on ΔOCD

Given that ΔABO ≅ ΔOCD, we have that ∠ABO ≅ ∠OCD

Therefore;

m∠ABO = m∠OCD by definition of congruency

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of flag is 2,340 ft determine the flag’s width and leng

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Width: 450 feet

Length: 720 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So we start with the equation to find the perimeter -

2l + 2w = p

l = length

w = width

p = perimeter

We insert the 2,340 ft as the perimeter -

2l + 2w = 2,340 ft

Now we find another equation for the "length is 270 ft greater than width" -

l = 270 ft + w

Using substitution, we substitute the y in the first equation with 270 ft + w -

2 (270 ft + w) + 2w = 2,340 ft

540 ft + 2w + 2w = 2,340 ft

540 ft + 4w = 2,340 ft

4w = 2,340 ft - 540 ft

4w = 1,800 ft

w = 1,800 ft / 4

w = 450 ft

Now to find the width we substitute the w with 450 ft -

l = 270 ft + w

l = 270 ft + 450 ft

l = 720 ft

Check -

2 * 720 ft + 2 * 450 ft = 2,340 ft

1,440 ft + 900 ft = 2,340 ft

2,340 ft = 2,340 ft (Correct)
