A city has 3 new houses for every 9 old houses. If there are 21 new houses in the city, how many old houses are there?

1 answer:

5 0

To find your answer you would divide 21 by 3 which would be 7, once you've got 7 you would multiply it by 9 which would give you the amount of old houses that there is which would be 63.

Answer if you know

Arlecino [84]

I've attached a plot of one such cross-section (orange) over the region in the x-y plane (blue), including the bounding curves (red). (I've set $y=1.25$ for this example.)

The length of each cross section (the side lying in the base) has length determined by the horizontal distance $x$ between the y-axis $x=0$ and the curve $y=\sqrt x$ . In terms of $y$ , this distance is $x=y^2$ . The height of each cross section is twice the value of $y$ , so the area of each rectangular cross section should be $2y^3$ .

This means the volume would be given by the integral

$\displaystyle\int_0^22y^3\,\mathrm dy$

What is the answer to 3/4 +1/3

Elis [28]

Well, to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common denominator would be 12. So you must multiply each fraction so that both denominators are 12.
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/3*4/4=4/12
Add those two fractions together, reduce if possible, and you have your answer!
9/12+4/12=13/12
You can't reduce, so 13/12 is your answer.
Hope it helps!
