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 $\frac{9}{15}$

Answer:

Johnny is wrong.

$A \cup B = \left\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h\right\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Johnny is wrong.

A better definition would be: $A \cup B$ is the set of all elements that belong to at least one A or B.

So, the elements that belong to both A and B, like c and d in this exercise, also belong to $A \cup B$ .

So:

$A \cup B=\left\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h\right\}$

Please help me find the value of each variable in the parallelogram

seropon [69]

Answer:

K=10 H=65

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out K, you need to know that opposite angles are the same, so 5k is the same as 50, 50÷5= 10, so k=10

To work out H, you know that opposite angles are the same so 2h is the same as 130, 130÷2=65 so h=65

How much simple interest would be paid on a loan of 10,170 at 7.64% for 272 days

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can compute the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple:

I = P*r*t

I = interest

P = loan amount

r = interest rate per period (period = days)

n = number of periods

P = 10,170

r = .0764/365

t = 272

Find the equation of the line passing through(1,2) and making an angle of 30 degree with y intercept

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Equation of the straight line passing through the point ( 1,2 ) and having the slope

x - √3y -1+2√3 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the point (1,2) and an angle = ∝ = 30°

The slope of the line

m = tan 30°

$m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }$

Step(ii):-

Equation of the straight line passing through the point ( 1,2 ) and having the slope

$m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }$

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y - 2 = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }$ ( x -1)

√3(y-2) = (x-1)

⇒ √3y - 2√3 = x -1

x - √3y -1+2√3 =0
