What fraction is equivalent to 36/60 and the sum of the numerator and denominator is 24

Mathematics
1 answer:
almond37 [142]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The fraction is \frac{9}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{36}{60} = \frac{x}{y}

Where x and y are the numerator and denominator of our new fraction respectively.

Also given is that x + y = 24

So  \frac{x}{y} = 36 ÷ 60 = 0.6

x = 0.6y

Substituting x in x + y = 24 gives;

0.6y + y = 24 , 1.6y = 24

y = 24 ÷ 1.6 = 15

x = 24 - 15 = 9

So our fraction is \frac{9}{15}

After staring at this for a few seconds, I think the equation

-5\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{15}=[1]\sqrt{[2]}

is asking you to simplify the left hand side so that it has a form matching the right hand side, and [1] and [2] are placeholders. My guess is that they're supposed to be integers.

Notice that

\sqrt{10}=\sqrt{5\cdot2}=\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt2

\sqrt{15}=\sqrt{5\cdot3}=\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt3

\implies\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{15}=(\sqrt5)^2\cdot\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt3=5\sqrt{2\cdot3}=5\sqrt6

Then multiplying by -5, we have

-5\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{15}=-25\sqrt6

so I believe [1] = -25, and [2] = 6.

Nastasia [14]
I’m not 100% bc/ I learned this last semester, but I think it’s B. So sorry if I’m wrong. I think this bc/ 0.04 is the interest rate as a percent, 4 is the time, 200 is the amount of money, and the one shows that it is exponential growth.

A manufacturer wants to double the volume of a 3 in.×2 in.×6 in. 3 i n . × 2 i n . × 6 i n . box, while using as little extra ca
viktelen [127]

Answer: 2 inch dimension will give smallest increase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 3 in

width = 2 in

height = 6 in

Extra cardboard  means to find surface area

on doubling the length

length = 6 In

width = 2 In

Height = 6In

Surface area for the above dimensions = 2 [ 6x2+2x6+6x6] = 120 sq in

On doubling the width

length = 3 in

width = 4 in

Height = 6 inch

Surface area for the above dimensions= 2 [ 3x4+4x6+6x3] = 2[54] = 108 sq inches

On doubling height

Length =3 in

width = 2 in

Height = 12 in

Surface area for above dimensions = 2 [ 3x2+2x12+12x3] = 2[6+24+36] = 132 sq inch

On doubling width surface area is minimum.
