Hi!

When we divide a fraction for a fraction we have to multiply the first fraction for the opposite of the second (the one we're dividing for).

Let's do an example.

16/8 : 4/6 = 16/8 * 6/4

Where necessary you can do cross-semplifying.

So, 16 and 4 can be divided both for 4.

8 and 6 both for 2.

So we have 4/4*3/1

You can also semplify numerator and denominator...

4/4 = 1

1*3 = 3

leonid [27]
The answer is B. (y = 4)


Further explanation:

–4y + 8 = 4(2y – 2) – 2(–16 + 8y)
= -4y + 8 = 4 * (2y -2) - 2 * (-16 + 8y)
= -4y + 8 = ( 4 * 2y - 4 *2 ) - (2 * -16 - 2 * 8y )
= -4y + 8 = 8y - 8 - ( -32 - 16y)
= -4y + 8 = 8y - 8 + 32 + 16y
Move y’s to the left & numbers to the right
= -4y - 8y - 16y = -8 + 32 - 8
= 12y - 16y = -16 + 32
Y = 16 / 28
Y = 4 = (B choice)

The tallest building in Africa is the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. What is the distance from the top of this 73
Contact [7]

Answer:

b = 33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.

5280 ft = 1 mile

735 ft = ? miles

cross multiply

735/5280

miles = 0.13920454545  miles

The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14  miles

using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = 4000.14

a = 4000

4000.14² = 4000² + b²

b² = 4000.14² - 4000²

b² = 16001120.0196  - 16000000

b² = 1120.0196

b = √1120.0196

b = 33.4666938911

b = 33 miles

Susan is buying three different colors of tiles for her kitchen floor. She is buying 25 more red tiles than beige tiles, and thr
Vanyuwa [196]
Let us assume that the number of beige tiles bought by Susan = B
Number of red tiles bought by Susan = R
Number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan =N
Number of tiles bought altogether = 435
Now from the given question we know:
Number of red tiles bought is 25 more than the number of beige tiles.
So
 R = 25 + B
Number of navy blue tiles bought is 3 times that of the number of beige tile bought
So
N = 3B
We already know that the total number of tiles bought is 435
Hence
B + R + N = 435
B + (25 + B) + 3B = 435
5B + 25 = 435
5B = 435 -25
5B = 410
B = 82
R = 25 + B
   = 25 + 82
   = 107
N = 3B
   = 3 * 82
   = 246
So the number of Beige tiles  bought by Susan = 82
The number of red tiles bought by Susan = 107
The number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan = 246
