Answer: B 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: Convert the mixed number 2 1/2 into an improper fraction first by multiplying the denominator (2) by the whole number part (2)and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator. Place the new numerator (5) over the old denominator (2). And now inverse means opposite, so just flip it.

Finally: 5/2 inverse= 2/5

If you get rid of the whole number in that fraction, you will have 3/2.
So the opposite of that would be 2/3.
I believe the answer is 2/3.

Which of the following is the solution to 6/(x+2) = 5/4x?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 10/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

6 / (x + 2) = 5 / 4x

To solve this equation use cross multiplication

6(4x) = 5(x + 2)

Simplify

24x = 5x + 10

Subtract 5x in both sides of the equation

24x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 10

Simplify

19x = 10

Divide by 19 both sides

19x/19 = 10/19

Simplify

x = 10/19

Lola: 203/537
Ahmed: 154/537

What is the answer, she explanation pls

Bingel [31]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to know the definition of "Chord" and "Arcs" in circles.

A Chord is defined as a segment that joins any two points of a circle.

An Arc is defined as portion of the circumference of a circle.

By definition:

1) If two chords of a circle are congruent (which means that they have equal measure), then their intercepted Arcs are also congruent.

2) If the Arcs are congruent, then they have congruent chords.

In this case, you know that the Arc GH and the Arc JK are congruent. Therefore, you can conclude that the Chord GH and the Chord JK are also congruent.

Then, knowing that:

$GH=9\ units$

You can determine that:

$JK=9\ units$
