Answer:

12 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportionality/similarity problem.

10 cm turned to 4 cm. So by how much has it decreased? In other words, <em>10 multiplied by </em><em>WHAT</em><em> is 4?</em>

10*x=4\\x=\frac{4}{10}\\x=0.4

0.4 is also known as the scale factor from the large diagram to the small diagram.

So how much would 30 cm become?<em> It would be 30 multiplied by the scale factor, which is </em><em>0.4</em><em>.</em>

30*0.4=12

<u>Hence, the length of the reduced diagram would be </u><u>12 cm</u><u>.</u>

The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

3 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There are 52 cards in a deck with half being red and half being black. The question ask for when a black card is drawn so we divide the total by 2

52/ 2 = 26

There are 6 black face cards in a deck so to get the probability one will be drawn we put how many there are over the total amount

6/26 we can simplify this

3 / 13

The answer is 3 / 13

Hope this helps!
