Answer:

  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given ...

  barrettes : hair ties = 5 : 7

  barrettes : hair bands = 5 : 8

Then the combined ratios are ...

  barrettes : hair ties : hair bands = 5 : 7 : 8

For every 5 barrettes, there are 7+8 = 15 hair ties and bands, so their ratio is ...

  barrettes/(hair ties and bands) = 5/15 = 1/3

Answer:\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are \frac{5}{7}  as many barrettes as hair ties in Sasha's hair supplies

i.e. \frac{Barrettes}{hair ties}=\frac{5}{7}

Hair ties =Barrettes\frac{7}{5}

Also There \frac{5}{8}barrettes  as hair bands in Sasha's supplies

i.e. \frac{Barrettes}{hair bands}=\frac{5}{8}

Hair Bands=Barrettes\frac{8}{5}

Ratio of the number of Barrettes to the total number of hair ties and bands

\frac{Barrettes}{Hair band +ties}=\frac{Barrettes}{Barrettes\frac{8}{5}+Barrettes\frac{7}{5}}

=\frac{1}{\frac{8}{5}+\frac{7}{5}}=\frac{5}{8+7}

=\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse ≈ 39.7 cm

Explanation:

Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, this means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

The equation for Pythagorean calculation is:

(hypotenuse)² = (first leg)² + (second leg)²

In the given, we have:

first leg = 30 cm

second leg = 26 cm

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the hypotenuse as follows:

(hypotenuse)² = (30)² + (26)²

(hypotenuse)² = 1576

This means that:

either hypotenuse = √1576 = 39.69 ≈ 39.7 cm ..........> accepted

or hypotenuse = -√1576 = -39.69 ......> rejected as length can't be negative

Hope this helps :)
