Yes, they both are 2/7

Proof: Left-hand side

Simplify the following:
12/42

The gcd of 12 and 42 is 6, so 12/42 = (6×2)/(6×7) = 6/6×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer:  2/7
Right-hand side:

Simplify the following:
10/35
The gcd of 10 and 35 is 5, so 10/35 = (5×2)/(5×7) = 5/5×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer:  2/7

12. A, B and C are consecutive natural numbers. If 2/7 of the reciprocal of A is equal to ⅓ of the reciprocal of C, find B.​
abruzzese [7]
<h3>Answer:  13</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The set of natural numbers is {1,2,3,4,...} aka the set of positive whole numbers.

Consecutive natural numbers follow one right after another, like with that example above or something like 7,8,9,...

Since B follows right after A, this means B = A+1. Similarly, C = B+1 = (A+1)+1 = A+2 because C follows right after B.

So we have

  • A = some unknown natural number
  • B = A+1
  • C = A+2

In other words, we have the sequence A,A+1,A+2 to replace the sequence A,B,C in that order.

-----------------------

The reciprocal of A is 1/A. Taking 2/7 of this gets us 2/(7A). This result is equal to 1/3 of the reciprocal of C, so,

2/(7A) = 1/3 of 1/C

2/(7A) = 1/(3C)

2/(7A) = 1/(3(A+2))

2/(7A) = 1/(3A+6)

------------------------

Let's cross multiply and solve for A

2/(7A) = 1/(3A+6)

2(3A+6) = 7A*1

6A+12 = 7A

12 = 7A-6A

12 = A

A = 12

Therefore, B = A+1 = 12+1 = 13 and C = A+2 = 12+2 = 14

The sequence A,B,C updates to 12,13,14.

------------------------

Check:

A = 12

reciprocal of A = 1/A = 1/12

D = 2/7 of reciprocal of A = (2/7)*(1/12) = 2/84 = 1/42

C = 14

reciprocal of C = 1/C = 1/14

E = 1/3 of the reciprocal of C = (1/3)*(1/14) = 1/42

Items D and E are equal, so it confirms we have the correct answer.

patriot [66]

The given equations are

2x-3y=-1\cdots(i) \\\\y=x-1\cdots(ii)

(a) Solution by graphing both the equations:

Graph for both the equations (i) and (ii) are in the figure. The point of intersection of both the graph is the solution of the equations.

From the graph, the point of intersection is (4,3)).

Hence, the required solution is (4,3).

(b) Solution by elimination method:

Equations (ii) can be written as -x+y=-1, now multiply it by 2, we have

-2x+2y=-2\cdots(iii)

Add equations (i) and (iii), we have

2x-3y=-1

-2x+2y=-2

__________

\Rightarrow -3y+2y=-1-2\\\\ \Rightarrow -y=-3\\\\ \Rightarrow y=3.

Putting the value of y=3 in equation (i), we have

2x-3\times 3=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x=-1+9=8 \\\\\Rightarrow x=8/2=4

Hence, the required solution is (4,4).

(c) Solution by substitution method:

Substituting the value of y from equation (ii) to equation (i), we have

2x-3(x-1)=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x-3x+3=-1 \\\\\Rightarrow -x=-1-4=-4 \\\\\Rightarrow x=4

Putting the value of x=4 in equation (i), we have

y=4-1=3.

Hence, the required solution is (4,3).

What is the exact volume of the cone?
victus00 [196]
Answer:  [D]:  " 196π  in.³  "  .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Given: radius, "r", equal 7 in.
Given: height, "h", equals 4 in.

Volume:  V = Base area * h ; 

The base area of a cone is a circle:  A = π * r²  = π* (7²) = 49π .

(NOTE: Since all answer choices given are in terms of "π" ; we will leave the units in terms of "π").

V = (Based area) * h = (49π  in.) * (4 in.) = (49*4)π  in.³
   =  196π  in.³  ; which is: Answer choice: [D] .
