Answer:

1200 shirts were sold.

400 pants were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of shirts to pants sold = 3:1 (difference of 2)

800 ÷ 2 = 400

Ratio x 400 = 1200:400 (difference of 800)

What part of 3 12 is 1/2 ? I need this asap

Aliun [14]

I assume you are asking one of three things, so I will answer all of them.

if you are asking what is 1/2 of 312, then multiply 312 by 1/2. 312 is really just 312/1, so
$312 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{312}{1} \times \frac{1}{2}$
we multiply fractions by multiplying straight across
$\frac{312 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{312}{2} = 156$

if you were asking what part of 3 1/2 is 1/2 then we have to recognize what 3 1/2 is as an improper fraction. to do this, we convert 3 into halves. how many halves of pizza are there in 3 whole pizzas? 6. so we have 6 halves and one half, which is a total of 7 halves.
$\frac{6}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$
now, we do the same thing as the first problem
$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7 \times 1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{7}{4}$

if you were asking what is half of 3.12, then we convert 1/2 to a decimal and multiply
$\frac{1}{2} = .5 \\ 3.12 \times .5 = 1.56$

Name the sets of numbers to which 7/9 belongs

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

OK.

the sets are

natural numbers (or counting numbers), this is like 1,2,3,4,5 etc

whole numbers, this is including 0, so 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 etc

integers, this includes the previoius set and negatives, so -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 etc

rational numbers, this is the set of numbers that can be written in form a/b where b≠0, so all integers can be written like this, like example -3=-3/1, so -7/9 belongs here

-7/9 goes in the rational set

Prove that 17^16+17^14 is divisible by 5

fredd [130]

We'll use the exponent rule that a^(b+c) = a^b*a^c

to break up 17^16 into 17^(14+2) = 17^14*17^2

That allows us to factor like so

17^16+17^14

17^14*17^2+17^14*1

17^14(17^2 + 1)

Computing 17^14 is a lot more difficult compared to computing 17^2 + 1, assuming you only could use paper and pencil.

Note that 17^2 = 17*17 = 289, so 17^2 + 1 = 289+1 = 290

Because 290 ends in a 0, this means that 5 is a factor

290 = 5*58

This makes 5 to be a factor of the original expression.

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

So overall,

17^16+17^14 = 17^14(17^2 + 1) = 17^14*290 = 17^14*5*58 = 5*17^14*58

The stuff "17^14*58" doesn't matter. All we care about is that factor of 5.

Since 5 is a factor, this means that 17^16+17^14 is a multiple of 5, or 17^16+17^14 is divisible by 5.

Phrased another way, 17^16+17^14 all divided over 5 leads to some integer. In this case, the integer would be the result of 17^14*58.
