Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
Answer:
k = 77/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.
probability of blue marbles = 2/7
probability of red marbles = 3/k
probability of green marbles = 5/2k
The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,
2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1
collect like terms
(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7
11/2k =(7 - 2) /7
11/2k = 5/7
cross multiply
10k = 77
divide both sides by 10
k = 77/10
Answer:
a=9
Step-by-step explanation:
a^3 = 729
Taking the cube root of each side
a^3 ^(1/3) = 729^ (1/3)
a = 9
We solve the question as follows:
Simple interest=Principle×Rate×Time
Thus given:
p=$55000, R=2.5%, time= 1 year
thus
Interest=55000×0.025×1=$1375
To evaluate the amount required to keep up with the inflation, your interest rate should match the inflation rate otherwise prices are going up faster than the savings.
Required interest rate=55000×0.034×1=$1870
The buying power lost will be the difference between your required interest and actual interest.
Thus:
Buying power lost=1870-1375=$495
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:
a² + b² = c²
2² + b² = 3²
4 + b² = 9
5 = b²
2.2 ≈ b
Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:
1/2(bxh)
1/2(2 x 2.2)
1/2(4.4)
2.2
Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:
<em>We know that the longer leg is 3.8 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 6.
</em>
1/2(bxh)
1/2(2 x 3.8)
1/2(7.6)
3.8
Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:
3.8 + 2.2 = 6
