Describe how to use mental math to determine if a ratio is simplified

1 answer:

3 0

We can determine that the ratio is simplified by checking that the numbers in ratio can be divided with the same number, if it can be divided then it is not simplified for example 9:12 is the ratio and we can divide both numbers with 3 and then we get 3 : 4.
Now we cannot divide 3:4 further with any same number so this is simplified form.

If n=0. Then,

$\frac{4(0) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{0 - 5}{2} = \frac{ - 5}{2}$

If n=1. Then,

$\frac{4(1) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{4 - 5}{2} = \frac{ - 1}{2}$

If n=2. Then,

$\frac{4(2) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{8 - 5}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$

If n=3. Then,

$\frac{4(3) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{12 - 5}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

If n=4. Then,

$\frac{4(4) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{16 - 5}{2} = \frac{11}{2}$

If n=5. Then,

$\frac{4(5) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{20 - 5}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$

If n=6. Then,

$\frac{4(6) - 5}{2}$

$\frac{24 - 5}{2} = \frac{19}{2}$

A rectangular swimming pool that is 10 ft wide by 16 ft long is surrounded by a cement sidewalk of uniform width. If the area of

Alchen [17]

We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.

The value of x is <span>5 feet. </span>
