Let n and d represent the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
.. (n +1)/(d +1) = 4/5
.. (n -5)/(d -5) = 1/2
Eliminating fractions from these equations gives
.. 5(n +1) = 4(d +1)
.. 2(n -5) = (d -5)
Subtracting the first equation from 4 times the second gives
.. 4(2(n -5)) -(5(n +1)) = 4(d -5) -(4(d +1))
.. 8n -40 -5n -5 = 4d -20 -4d -4
.. 3n = 21
.. n = 7
.. 2(7 -5) = d -5
.. 9 = d

The fraction is 7/9.

9y-5x=20 i dono how to do this x and y intercwpt thingy
bagirrra123 [75]
     9y - 5x = 20
or, (9y - 5x) / 20 = 1
or, 9/20 y - 1/4 x = 1
compare with x/a + y/b = 1
you'll get
x intercept (a) = -4
y intercept (b) = 20/9

The formula to find the surface area of a sphere is to take the radius of the sphere and square it and multiply that amount by p
yawa3891 [41]
500=4πr^2. first divide 500 from four which will equal 125, then divide 125 with π and it will equal 39.788 . finally √39.788. the answer will be r=6.3 or 6

1. a motor car race is 500 miles long and consists of completing laps of a circular speedway
Zarrin [17]

The function y = 2.5x + 500 represents the total number of miles if the motor car race is 500 miles long, option (d) is correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have:

y represents the number of miles a motor car has left to go in the race

x represents the number of laps completed by the motor car

The total number of miles if we consider only circular speedways = 2.5x

The total number of miles:

y = 2.5x + 500  (because 500 is the constant)

Thus, the function y = 2.5x + 500 represents the total number of miles if the motor car race is 500 miles long option (d) is correct.

A farmer has enough feed to last his 15pigs for 20days. How long would the feed last if he had 10pigs​
ddd [48]

40/3 days, (13.33 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation, 15/20 = 10/x, and then use cross mutiply to solve it.

10 * 20 = 15x, x = 200/15 = 40/3

Why?

b/c if each pig eats the same amount of food, then the ratio between the number of pigs and days should remain constant.
